With Wednesday’s news of Carson Wentz being traded to the Commanders from the Colts, this means Indianapolis will be hiring its fifth quarterback in the last five years.
In the last five seasons, a different quarterback has started in Week 1. Now the sixth season in a row will have a different Colts quarterback on the field.
Here’s the last five starting quarterbacks for the Colts: Scott Tolzien (2017), Andrew Luck (2018), Jacoby Brissett (2019), Philip Rivers (2020) and Carson Wentz (2021).
Colts linebacker Darius Leonard was signed to the Colts in 2018. He has played under four quarterbacks already in his four years, and now is going to take on his fifth quarterback.
