The Indianapolis Colts continue to make over the roster. It’s very likely the team’s quarterback room will look entirely different by the time the 2023 season arrives.
Quarterback Matt Ryan has been released, Nick Foles is likely next, and Thursday the team agreed to sign former Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Gardner Minshew to a one-year deal worth $3.5 million.
Minshew will provide a solid veteran presence in the locker room and mentor the incoming rookie quarterback.
Here’s how Twitter reacted to the Colts signing Gardner Minshew:
It’s expected to be a one-year, $3.5 million deal with upside for Gardner Minshew in Indianapolis. https://t.co/JCtw1NbsJ9

Great signing for the #Colts. Minshew is a top-3 backup in the league, and backup QB is the most undervalued position in the sport of football.
Now who will he be playing behind? Or perhaps the question is *will* he be playing behind someone to start the season… https://t.co/3q2Drcfpbt

Great signing for the Colts. Provides much needed stability at the backup QB spot with a young guy coming in https://t.co/tyQZ9PUbuU

This assures me the Colts are going QB in the draft. Solid backup and bridge guy for a QB that may need to sit a year 👀 https://t.co/svBJttZapf
