2. Brissett Is In A Contract Year

Upon his elevation to the starting lineup, the Colts gave Brissett a two-year, $30 million contract extension. But that really just ripped up the final year of his rookie contract (last year), while giving him a raise and an extra year of security.

Brissett carries a cap hit of $21.3 million this year. That’s not a real issue for the Colts, who have nearly $24 million in cap space right now, fourth-most in the league. Moving on from him carries some dead money hit, but Brissett is in line to be an expensive backup otherwise.

During or right after the draft, and knowing he’s in the final year of his contract, Brissett might land on the radar of more than a few teams as a trade target. Ballard would be wise to use that bit of leverage to get an extra draft pick.
