Cap Space & Extending Brissett

[Coltsalr]

Sounds like the Colts are about to do just that:

@BenVolin
League source says Colts and Jacoby Brissett are close on a new deal. Should be signed on the next 24 hours. Will be a nice pay raise for the fourth-year QB

Wow, this is a very interesting turn of events. I would not have expected Ballard to go this route.

It all depends on the terms. Don’t pay attention to the initial numbers. Wait to know how much is guaranteed after years 1 & 2.

The #Colts and QB Jacoby Brissett have agreed to terms on a 2-year extension worth $30M, source said. He gets $20M guaranteed at signing. Some security for the new Indy starter.

1) Sends a strong message to the locker room.
2) If he’s the guy, 2020-2021 are a lot cheaper.
3) If not, they can get out from under that contract with minimal impact on the roster as a whole.

A little security on both sides. Plus gets us out from under the minimum cap expenditure rule.
