I think $2.5M is a bit high for the guy. He’s not a starter and won’t win games for you, but he can run the practice squad and his teammmates always like him.

Matt Millen always loved him in Detroit.

Good sign Bucs. Colts should’ve kept him. Not having a competent backup is what led to the Polians exit from Indy, not to mention the worst record in football and the eventual exit of Peyton. Who woulda thought the backup qb is that important? He’s a capable qb and while he may not be a starter…he’s certainly a viable backup plan. Sure you don’t want Painter and let us have Orlavsky back?

As a Lions fan, I knew the Colts were in “suck for luck” mode last year…to me it was unacceptable to not bench Painter for Dan O, and knew theyd win some when they did. He hung in there vs New England too.

At least the former Gator would have helped sell tickets.”

Rex Grossman and selling tickets and the same sentence is the funniest thing I’ve heard in quite some time. Good form.

He played very well in a very difficult situation. In fact when I read this I was a bit bummed that the Colts didn’t want him back.

I rolled my eyes at him when the Colts first sent him into the game, but he made me choke my words quickly. He isn’t an NFL starter, but he has very good game for a backup.

I’ll bet the number will leave Tiki flabbergasted……..

I would have liked a veteran with more career playing time to give Josh some competition. Could be potential in this guy. Just have to trust the coach on this one. GO BUCS!
