INDIANAPOLIS — The Indianapolis Colts have taken all of the doubt off of the table with their quarterback situation. On Monday they backed the truck up in front of Jacoby Brissett’s crib and poured his bread out on the front lawn. Now that he’s officially been named the starter for the near future, they’re at least going to pay him like one. According to NFL Network on Monday they’ve agreed to a two-year extension worth $30 million with $20 million of it GUARANTEED.
Under normal circumstances this wouldn’t sound like he was getting the bag but this new deal replaces his current rookie deal that was a 4-year, $3.41 million agreement total. This was the final year of that deal where he was scheduled to make $2 million.
Let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1st! So while all of the Colts fans are booing and burning Andrew Luck jerseys. Jacoby Brissett is singing ole boy’s praises for retiring. He went from making a mere $2 million this year to getting a GUARANTEED $20 million over the next two years with another $10 million rolling in for good measure. If I were him I would send breakfast to Luck wherever he is for the next two years. That’s the least I could do.
Brissett’s only thrown for 3,500 yards, 13 touchdowns and 7 interceptions in his freakin’ career and he’s about to cash checks like that? Oh and did I mention that he was 4-11 as the starter in 2017 which was no fault of his own. The Colts’ offensive line was trash. The reason why he was brought in was because they couldn’t keep Luck upright.
So under those circumstances Jacoby Brissett has got to be one of the luckiest men on earth. Now he’s got to just go out there and show people what he can do with a good offensive line. I still believe that Indianapolis will make the playoffs. Stop me when I start lyin’!
