It seems like age is just a number for Philip Rivers. The quarterback said goodbye to football after the 2020 NFL season, but apparently he wants to un-retire and has called two teams to let them know he's available.
Philip Rivers had a remarkable 17-year career with the Chargers and Colts. Although he was unable to compete for a Super Bowl ring, his numbers place him as one of the best quarterbacks in passing yards and touchdowns.
However, it seems that his desire for a Super Bowl ring is driving him to return to football. The 41-year-old has reached out to two NFL teams in order to put on the cleats again and play the 2023 season for either of them.

Philip Rivers is considered by some fans and experts as a future Hall of Famer. Despite not having won a Super Bowl, he is ranked among the top six quarterbacks in terms of passing yards and touchdowns, which reinforces this idea.
But it seems like Philip Rivers could wait more time to see his name at Canton, Ohio. The quarterback is reportedly interested in coming out of retirement to play the 2023 season.
According to NFL Network's Rich Eisen, Philip Rivers reached the San Francisco 49ers and the Miami Dolphins to let them know he's open to un.retire and play for either of them this year.
Multiple reports indicate that the 49ers are seeking a veteran quarterback due to injuries to their current quarterbacks, Trey Lance and Brock Purdy, who are unlikely to return before midseason. Additionally, the Dolphins appear to be considering a change for the position in 2023, moving on from Tua Tagovailoa.
