Colts take a flyer on former fourth-round quarterback James Morgan

Indianapolis signed James Morgan, who the Jets drafted with the 125th pick in the 2020 NFL draft, just three spots after the Colts selected Jacob Eason, who lost repeated opportunities to win the backup job in Indianapolis and now plays in Seattle.
