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.

If we can re-sign him to something like that then we should definitely keep him. He's proven he can play well off the bench and keep the ship afloat for a few games, which we'll probably need to have w/ AR at QB and a good thing to have even if AR can stay healthy.
