The Colts have agreed to terms with quarterback Gardner Minshew, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, giving the franchise an experienced signal-caller in the room for the 2023 season.
Pelissero reports that Minshew is expected to sign a one-year, $3.5 million deal with Indianapolis. The 26-year-old likely will slot in as the team’s backup with the Colts expected to select a quarterback with the No. 4 pick in next month’s NFL draft.
Minshew will follow former Eagles offensive coordinator Shane Steichen, the Colts’ new head coach, from Philadelphia to Indianapolis after the quarterback spent two years as the backup to Jalen Hurts. In a reserve role, Minshew played in nine games and made four starts, throwing for 1,102 yards, seven touchdowns and four interceptions across two seasons with the Eagles.
