Indianapolis Colts QB Jacoby Brissett will be under consideration to be the starting quarterback in 2021, according to general manager Chris Ballard. ‘I don’t want to discount Jacoby,’ Ballard said. ‘We still like Jacoby Brissett and think he’s a good player. Let’s not take Jacoby out of the mix completely here.’

Carolina Panthers QB Teddy Bridgewater will be evaluated as new general manager Scott Fitterer assesses the current roster and isn’t guaranteed to be the starter for the 2021 season. ‘I’m not going to get into hypotheticals, but what I will tell you is we will be on every deal,’ Fitterer said when talking about being aggressive in transactions this offseason. ‘We’re going to look at a lot of people, bring a lot of people in the building, really churn the roster on the back end. Just really take a look at a lot of different people to see what’s out there, what fits our team and how we can build this going forward.’
