Jacoby Brissett needs a backup. Now that Andrew Luck is gone, he is the franchise quarterback. He needs some protection behind him. Many fans want Chad Kelly to be the backup once his suspension is finished. That won’t be the case anymore.
The Colts decided to sign Brian Hoyer to be the backup. They signed him to a 3 year deal worth $12 million with $9 million guaranteed according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. With that kind of money being paid to him, Hoyer will be the backup for the long haul.
