Philip Rivers is being paid the prorated 2025 veteran minimum by the Colts, which works out to roughly 225–280 thousand dollars for the remainder of the season.

Quick Scoop

  • Philip Rivers signed a one-year deal at the veteran minimum salary of about 1.255 million dollars for the 2025 season.
  • Because he joined late in the year, that amount is prorated over only a handful of games, so his actual cash earnings for this stint are reported in the 225–280 thousand dollar range.
  • Some outlets note a cap hit of about 228,888 dollars (roughly 73,823 dollars per game), while others round his four‑game payout to about 278,889 dollars. The variation comes from how bonus/proration and weeks remaining are calculated, but all agree it is a veteran‑minimum style deal, not a big star contract.

In short, compared with the 25 million dollars he made with the Colts back in 2020, this comeback is more about a late‑season boost and benefits than a massive payday.
