The Indianapolis Colts have themselves an elite quarterback to work behind starter Anthony Richardson.
In somewhat of a surprising move, the Colts are signing Joe Flacco to a one-year deal worth $8.7 million. Flacco reunites with Shane Steichen-the pair worked together for half of a season in 2021 before he was traded to the New York Jets.
The Colts addressed one of their needs in the form of a veteran quarterback.

We live in a timeline where Jim Harbaugh, Peyton Manning, Kerry Collins, Andrew Luck, Josh Freeman, Philip Rivers, Carson Wentz, Matt Ryan, Anthony Richardson, and (soon to be) Joe Flacco have all been with the Colts.
How random. How beautiful.

I would pay to watch Joe Flacco and Anthony Richardson have an arm strength completion post-practice https://t.co/Vht8SxkodZ

There has never been a more opposite QB room in NFL history than Indianapolis this year https://t.co/Cu1MSvobHd
