Indy needs to realize they need a full blown rebuild at this point. They have very little going for them. Yeah, he's not making much money - but to me it just points to a guy they want to keep around who performed "decently" for the what is appearing to be likely scenario that Luck is not ready in just over 4 months.
I think we will know a lot more a week from now. If there are concerns, trade discussions surrounding Brissett aren't the "tell", it will be if the Colts draft a QB. If they are going to look to replace Luck, it will be from this draft, not elsewhere. There was never a single murmur around any free agent so that by itself is meaningful. If they get past the draft, then I believe that there is a pretty firm belief they are comfortable with Luck's health this upcoming season. There is no way I see them waiting out into another draft class.
If you can't leave at least a 20% tip, you can't afford to eat out.

And I don't see that as a sign of anything aside from money.
Obviously it also means they think he's worth rostering as a backup starter; that the salary makes it an easier decision doesn't alter that point. Whether it's for 800 grand or 4 million, NFL teams don't roster 2nd-string QBs out of charity.
While he may know the system, does anyone honestly believe that Brissett should be on the field leading a team on Sunday afternoons?
All the teams that offered to buy him obviously don't hate the idea.

The clipboard holder active on gameday is supposed to be a guy the team doesn't mind as a Plan B for leading the team on Sunday afternoons.

If they don't love any of the quarterbacks that are there at #6 or earlier into the 2nd or 3rd though; they could continue to wait until next year. As I mentioned, the Colts are in a position where they need help everywhere. They drafted Andrew Luck; didn't have the team around him and got him killed. Are they going to make the same mistake?

The Colts are a great candidate to be picking again very early next year; and while I do not follow college enough to know of the quality of quarterbacks next year, they do not need to draft a successor now if Luck is not ready.

The Colts are in a place where they need to take the best players available and since quarterbacks are traditionally reaches, that would be a poor idea for them this year.

From the appearance of his triceps in the one pic, you could certainly assume his shoulder is strong enough to attempt skull-crushers in the weight room.

Well if football doesn't work out, Luck can work out for a living and become a bodybuilder.

The important questions is: did he throw any kids?
Dynasty player since 2002.
I probably should have done something more productive with that time...

Yes, but they were "weighted".
