If he has any shot to be a WR2 on a team (Buffalo, New England, Cincinnati, Houston, Tennessee, Carolina) he's gone I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's basically the 4th option in the offense, behind JJ, JA, and TJ. If he wants to contribute in an offense, he has to go elsewhere.

And at that point, why pay all that money to a fourth option, we already are with Oliver. Think we just have to draft someone and let Powell slide into the spot for a year.

vike daddy Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 The Colts signed Gardner Minshew to a one-year deal last offseason and he became the team’s starter after Anthony Richardson’s season-ending shoulder surgery. The Colts went 7-6 with Minshew as a starter and they came close to a Week 18 win that would have made them division champions, but Richardson was a first-round pick last year so Minshew will either be returning as a backup or moving on. Minshew said on Friday that he has no idea how things are going to play out this offseason, but that he wouldn’t mind a long stay somewhere after bouncing from Jacksonville to Philadelphia and Indianapolis over the last four years. Minshew: “I’m a ramblin’ man, a little bit in my soul, but, man, love to settle down and find somewhere to call home, but until we get there we’re gonna keep on rollin’." https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/gardner-minshew-id-love-to-settle-down-and-find-somewhere-to-call-home 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That has to be the tough part when you’re a QB like Minshew. You’re probably good enough to be a top 30 starting Qb every year but no single team is content with the same below average QB year over year so it’s hard to stick in one spot. Minshew is a guy MN probably would need to look at if Cousins isn’t brought back. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CriminalMind Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Realistic off-season, in this order: -Let Kirk, Davenport, Mullens, Risner, Osborn walk -release Smith -extend Hunter -sign Minshew $12M one yr -sign league average OG and DT, LB -draft JJ McCarthy at #11 -retain Wonnum not my favourite, but I’d say moderately realistic 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think releasing all the current backs, except Chandler and Kene...mostly as a return specialist...and add FA and draft a 3rd day running back.

vike daddy Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 it's amazing how little Minshew is paid. only 5 mil this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
