The Indianapolis Colts and quarterback Gardner Minshew have agreed on a one-year, $3.5 million contract, a person with knowledge of the deal told The Associated Press on Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The person, speaking on condition of anonymity because the team hasn’t announced the deal, said Minshew’s contract is worth up to $5.5 million, including incentives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Minshew was 1-3 in four starts filling in for Jalen Hurts over the past two seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles. He reunites with Shane Steichen, the Colts’ new coach who was Philadelphia’s offensive coordinator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Minshew, a sixth-round pick by Jacksonville in 2019, was 7-13 as starter in two seasons with the Jaguars. He has completed 62.8% of his passes for 6,632 yards, 44 touchdowns and 15 interceptions in four seasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Colts have had different starting quarterback for five straight seasons, and this year will make it six in a row after Matt Ryan was released.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Indianapolis has the No. 4 overall pick in the draft and is expected to select a quarterback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The team is not interested in 2019 NFL MVP Lamar Jackson, the person said. Jackson, who received the non-exclusive franchise tender from the Baltimore Ravens, can sign an offer sheet with any team. If the Ravens don’t match the offer, they would receive two first-round picks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
