Golden Nuggets: No, the Colts aren’t trading for Jimmy Garoppolo

If there’s an injury to a quarterback at any point this season, expect Jimmy Garoppolo’s name to come up. Most recently, Colts QB Carson Wentz suffered a foot injury that involves a bone and a ligament, which could cause Wentz to miss at least five games.

Financially, it doesn’t make sense for the Colts to make a move for Garoppolo and his $26.4 million cap number. The Colts are on the hook for Wentz’s $20 million cap number this season. If they make a move, it’ll be for a quarterback that’s on a cheap deal, like Gardner Minshew.
