No, it means:

1. They have a backup for the next 3 years
2. There were probably several teams who were interested, competition drives up the price
3. Brissett has an agent. Why would he take an extension now? If Brissett is betting on himself (and if hes going to be a great QB he should bet on himself) he will have the advantage in contract negotiations.
4. See above. If Brissett negotiations drag on, the team can still function.
5. Why give him a new contract now? What if he sucks. Colts have a sub 500 season, you trade up in the draft and get a qb. Cut jakob and you have hoyer until rookie is ready.

They sign Brissett to an extention I’d be shocked.
