Now that Minshew is gone will Ehlinger become the backup quarterback?

Far too early to know. Sit back, grab a bag of popcorn and beverage of your choice and ride the next 45-60 days out. It’ll be a lot clearer then. 
 

Ballard always has a back up plan… (Jimmy G is available…)

I checked my Magic Eight Ball.  It said “Are you on drugs?”  
 

So I’m guessing…No.

[2006Coltsbestever]

No

Didn’t even think of Jimmy G as an option. The raiders are still him a good amount of money too I believe

[Boss7894]

In the senior bowl I didn’t see any

[GoColts8818]

A rookie backing up a second year QB who missed almost all of last year isn’t a great idea.

Yeah, I am- but I’m weeks from turning 70, and doctor told me this morning that I need a shoulder replacement…..

 

Thanks for the thought, tho!!!!!!!

You’d probably last as long as the other Jimmy G.

Unless that rookie is one of top prospects from this year's draft

[w87r]

Tyrod Taylor

 

$5-$7m range hopefully.

[Superman]

Yall still trying to make Sam Ehlinger happen?

Jelani Woods looks healthy in postseason workout.

I feel 100 % confident,  Jelani will not be the new backup qb

I would like a vet but not sure who they will get. Could see them go after:

• Jacoby Brissett
• Tyrod Taylor
• Justin Fields
• Zach Wilson
• Josh Dobbs

He is perfect for the Colts and can run the same offense that AR runs

[Boss7894]

Let's go cheap... Is Wilson the cheapest one? lol

Fields is obviously not an option.  

[MikeCurtis]

I do want to move on from Sam E

 

This team needs a late round rookie to be 3rd qb

What makes you so sure? BEARS aren't getting the calls or comp they've been looking for. I think I saw something today that even mentioned the Colts/Eagles are both teams interested in Fields.

[stitches]

My choice would be Tyler Huntley.

Why?  If we are down to the 3rd string qb, the season is off the rails.  We need a 2nd string qb.

Fields isnt coming in to be a backup.   The Colts aren't going to spend the draft capital needed to land him.   

[2006Coltsbestever]

Jimmy G.

[jvan1973]

What's Chad Kelly up too

 

[JackWV]

Bears are high on Tyson Bagent, how high?  Love to see him end up in Indy...

Why would he accept that paltry amount. 😉

That should be the range.  Shouldn’t be too hard to whittle the list down to that range.

[Indianapolis-Colts-Fan]

Kind of bummed. I know it’s just the backup but having had a different starter for so many years it hurts in a weird kind of way. 

[2006Coltsbestever]

Jimmy G, 1 year deal for 6 mill = wishful thinking.

Mine as well, think very good chance this happens.

Yes absolutely. 

 

Let's draft Joe Milton from Tennessee. 

 

He's literally a carbon copy of AR.

 

If AR gets hurt again let's make Joe our Brock Purdy and give him a chance to win the starting job.

Cheapest would just be Sam he’s already accounted for.

Agreed.  We need a 2nd string QB and it’s NOT Sam E

 

Id like a vet QB for QB2  I’d like a rookie for QB3

I am shocked anyone thinks Sam is even average. He is Painter basically = Bad.

I feel like that Patriot game should've closed and buried and burned the book on him .. Lol
