    Having a $21million dollar backup doesn't seem like a great use of cap space to me.....especially when you just signed a QB that hasn't missed a game since becoming a starter in 2006...your hope is that with your great OL that old man Rivers doesn't take many shots and is on the field all season

    They really should sign Curtis Painter as the backup because that way if Rivers goes down then they will get to draft Trevor Lawrence with the 1st pick next yr

    Personally I think they draft a QB this yr....get rid of Brisett and sign a cheap vet to be the backup

    $25m while keeping what might be the best backup QB in the league versus $32m cutting him and having to sign another QB.

    The Colts could have Rivers, Brissett, and a 1st round pick QB on the roster and they'd still be fine with their 2020 cap.

    I don't see the cap urgency here.

    12.5 million dead cap hit if they cut him.

    I too can’t imagine they keep him on as a $21 million dollar backup. That’s ridiculous.

    You're just robbing Peter to pay Paul.

    The $21m is already spent. Gain $7m in cap space and have to spend that money and some more to sign a backup QB, to go along with $12.5m in dead space. Or...just keep him as a very good backup QB.

    Use a draft pick to get your next possible starter and thus no extra cap space used or sign a backup for 1-2 mil and still save 5 mil ..... please show me another team in the NFL that has ever had a 21mil dollar backup qb going into the season when the starter was making 25mil???

    the Colts have no qb under contract for next yr....does that make you feel good as a gm....if they don’t do something then Rivers has them by the balls

    They'll be drafting a QB this year surely. Hurst Eason Fromm on day 2?
