The Colts as a midseason destination might pose some obstacles in my view. First, we'd almost certainly have to get rid of one of the QBs on our roster (bye Jacoby - unless Eason is really stinking up the joint and we want to gamble on getting him to the practice squad). Second, I don't know if the Colts would be able to give Darnold a lot of playing time if they are in the playoff race as expected, and how prepared could he be to contribute coming into a new offense at that point?
