Colts Announce Release of Veteran, Super Bowl-Winning Quarterback

The Colts announced they released quarterback Nick Foles on Friday afternoon.

Foles spent the 2022 season as a backup quarterback for the Colts, initially entering the year behind Matt Ryan on the depth chart. The veteran ended up starting two games for Indianapolis, throwing for just 224 yards for one touchdowns and four interceptions in three games.

If Foles signs somewhere else this offseason, it will be his fourth team in five years since signing a big contract with the Jaguars. The 34 year-old is best known for leading the Eagles to a Super Bowl championship after taking over for an injured Carson Wentz in the 2017 NFL season.

The Colts are moving forward with two new quarterbacks this year: No. 4 pick Anthony Richardson and free agent signing Gardner Minshew. Sam Ehlinger, who played in four games for the Colts last year, is also on the team entering training camp.
