Colts knew back in March?

I don't believe that at all.

They had tons of cap space and there were options available. Foles and even Eli Manning, to name two.

Honestly, I am not sure how much better Foles is and Eli is washed up. I say that as someone who is not convinced Brissett is a legit starting QB in the NFL.

Foles won a SB, with Reich, not even two years ago.

Eli won two SBs and the Giants have been a mess as an organization lately, not all his fault.

Brissett has won 4 NFL games total.

I know there are extenuating circumstances for all those things, but come on.....those are vast differences.

Foles won a SB , but another Qb had a lot to do with getting him there, he has been a qb that is super up and down. Eli is done, the giants are trash, but he was never great and he is done. Brissett is certainly an unknown, but his one year as a starter is kind of a rough situation. Without proof the Colts knew in time to even try to get Foles, that is a non Starter and I am not sure the Giants would have traded Eli at that point either. This whole premise is post Luch retirement rage posting.
