Gives them time to find a new franchise QB. Until then, Brissett isn’t bad as a starter.Colts hand Jacoby Brissett two-year, $30M contract

This is a five-fold increase on his current salary. And he literally did nothing to earn it, other than be the guy who was the backup when Luck retired.Jacoby Brissett signed a 2 year, $30,000,000 contract with the Indianapolis Colts, including $20,000,000 guaranteed,

Run-of-the-mill QBs are a dime a dozen.
I'm not gonna argue who Brissett is.This is a five-fold increase on his current salary. And he literally did nothing to earn it, other than be the guy who was the backup when Luck retired.

Based on what?He's probably better than "run of the mill"
I don't understand the thought process. This doesn't keep him from getting a market value deal next year if he's good this year.Get ahead of the market in case he is good, I guess. That's a decent amount of guaranteed money if not, though.

The current free agent list is full of garbage, but there's guys out there who have shown themselves to be about equal to Brissett, and who probably won't be able to command $10 million in guarantees next season.Colts have no option but to stick with Brissett at least this year, most likely this and next year. This does nothing but pay him for two yeas what the tag would cost him next year,so they bought out the tag. They lose flexibility but I guess they don't expect any top QB's to be free after this year and wouldn't want to draft someone and have them start in year 1 if they don't have to.
I don't see it as crazy. Panic, yes.
Perhaps they could have done that, but this way they are guaranteed to have a QB they know and knows them unless he gets hurt.The current free agent list is full of garbage, but there's guys out there who have shown themselves to be about equal to Brissett, and who probably won't be able to command $10 million in guarantees next season.
Teddy Bridgewater, Brett Hundley, Blake Bottles, and Jeff Driskel are probably all about equally talented, and might not get $20 million guaranteed on a four year deal.
Heck, they could find some placeholder QB next year in the Case Keenum/Ryan Tannehill mold for pretty cheap, too.

I'm just not sure I would've done it

Outside of him not throwing interceptions, everything about his stat lines stunk. But hell, even Tyrod Taylor is good at not throwing picks.
