Colts sign oft-troubled, free-agent QB Kelly

INDIANAPOLIS -- The Colts have signed quarterback Chad Kelly, the nephew of Hall of Fame quarterback Jim Kelly, the team announced Monday.

Kelly, who was a tryout player during the team's rookie minicamp earlier this month, has a history of off-the-field problems.

He was released by the Denver Broncos the day after he was arrested for criminal trespassing for entering a couple's home in October 2018. Kelly, a seventh-round pick by the Broncos in 2017, plead guilty to misdemeanor second-degree criminal trespassing in March. He was sentenced to one year of supervised probation and 50 hours of community service.
