The Colts made two aggressive moves early in the offseason after staying quiet last season. They traded for DeForest Buckner after making it known that interior defensive lineman was a sore spot for them all season. They also went out and got a short-term quarterback in Philip Rivers after not committing to Brissett fully this offseason. GM Chris Ballard has a fire to win and one thing is for sure, he’ll always find the players that gives the Colts the best chances at winning.
If the Colts release Brissett they’ll have about $12 million in cap space lost to dead money but save the nearly $9 million on a roster bonus owed to him.
