Indianapolis Colts sign 2023 comeback player of the year Joe Flacco as backup quarterback

The Indianapolis Colts have found Anthony Richardson’s next backup quarterback.
Indianapolis is signing Joe Flacco, the 2023 NFL Comeback Player of the Year, to a one-year deal, a league source told IndyStar on Wednesday night, reuniting Flacco with Shane Steichen after the two men spent the 2021 season together in Philadelphia.
Flacco, 39, was a sensation in Cleveland last year, joining the Browns in the middle of the season and righting the ship for a team floundering after a season-ending injury to starter Deshaun Watson, leading the Browns to a 4-1 record and a playoff berth down the stretch.
Gardner Minshew, who started 13 games last season for the Colts after Richardson opted for season-ending shoulder surgery, will join the Las Vegas Raiders as a free agent.
