Then he signed his present deal which is a 1-year deal with the Colts for $3.5M.

If he signs another 1-year deal, I could see him signing something along the lines of $5.5M or so. Maybe a little less per year if the contract is for 2 years.

So either 1 year, $5.5M. Or 2 years, $10M.

That should place him in the Top 5 for backup QB contracts or get him really close to that range.

no shit?

i thought backups were making more bank than that.
