Zak Keefer of The Athletic reported earlier today that the Indianapolis Colts were interested in signing Gardner Minshew.
Hours later, the report appears to have come to fruition.
NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero confirmed that Indianapolis has brought the veteran quarterback aboard this afternoon. The Colts are expected to pay $3.5 million on a one-year deal.

Zak Keefer added that the team is expected to cut ties with Nick Foles in a corresponding move.
The 34-year-old Foles played just one season with the Colts, appearing in three games without passing for a touchdown.
Colts adding veteran QB Gardner Minshew, source confirms, as @TomPelissero first reported.
Likely means they’ll move off of Nick Foles (as expected).

It’s a tumultuous time in Indianapolis and Minshew will have his opportunity to receive snaps.
In a move that changed the fabric of the 2023 Colts, the team parted ways with veteran quarterback Matt Ryan earlier this week. It’s a move that made plenty of football sense given Ryan’s disastrous 2022 campaign, but it hit the team hard in the pocket book.
The Colts will draft fourth overall in the coming NFL draft unless GM Chris Ballard opts to trade up. The team could certainly select a quarterback from that position, or give Minshew or Sam Ehlinger a chance to compete for the starting job.
