5 potential new teams for Josh Rosen in 2020
4. Indianapolis Colts
After Andrew Luck retired in late August, the Colts pivoted to a solid backup situation with Jacoby Brissett becoming the new starter under center on short notice. He started the season very well, leading the league in touchdown passes for a time, but a knee injury against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 9 was the turning point for him and the Colts.
Jacoby Brissett prior to his MCL injury: 153-of-236, 64.8%, 1,649 yards, 14 TDs, 3 INTs, 99.7 rating

Brissett since: 80-of-140 57.1%, 847 yards, 4 TDs, 3 INTs, 77.6 ratinghttps://t.co/rnsC1Rhbcd
The Colts gave Brissett a new two-year deal just before the season started. But it’s not going to necessarily prohibit going another direction in the future, or adding someone to compete with him for the starting job next year.
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.

Getting fully healthy after his sprained left MCL should do Brissett a world of good. But a move to trade for Rosen won’t be costly, as the Dolphins surely just want to unload him this offseason, and he’d be a worthy flier for Indianapolis all things considered.
