Colts trade Phillip Dorsett to Pats for Jacoby Brissett
Leave it to Bill Belichick to make some serious noise on cut down day.
The Patriots dealt third-string quarterback and 2016 third-round pick Jacoby Brissett to the Indianapolis Colts for former first-round wideout Phillip Dorsett, the Colts announced. ESPN first reported the development.
The trade solves a major need for Indianapolis, a team struggling to find quarterback depth as it waits for answers on Andrew Luck's surgically repaired shoulder. Brissett went 1-1 in two starts last year during Tom Brady's suspension, throwing for 400 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions. He had an average passer rating of 83.9. As NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport mentioned, Brissett was "showcased" during New England's final preseason game. Likely a stretch to make the roster, Belichick was looking to bolster Brissett and get something back for him in lieu of an outright cut.
Had he been with the Colts sooner, there's a realistic possibility Brissett could have challenged presumptive Week 1 starter Scott Tolzien for the job.
