Colts owner Jim Irsay We wouldnt trade Jacoby Brissett for a first-round pick

If all goes according to plan, backup quarterback won't see the field during the upcoming season. With finally after mi sing all of last season Braxton Berrios Jersey with , the plan is for Bri sett to ride the bench while Luck leads the Colts back to competitivene s.But that doesn't mean Bri sett, who started 15 games a year ago, is worthle s to the Colts. Despite Bri sett's status as nothing more than the Colts' emergency option, he's apparently almost untradable in the eyes of Colts owner Jim Irsay.On Friday night, Irsay told reporters that "All of a sudden, we have the best backup quarterback in football," Irsay said, per the "I don't think we'd accept a (first-round pick in a trade) for him, we think he's that good." Irsay's not wrong about Bri sett being a good backup quarterback -- though would probably La'Mical Perine Jersey be considered the best backup after his sudden ascent to Super Bowl MVP -- but the idea that he wouldn't accept a first-round pick for a player who isn't supposed to play is borderline insane, especially considering how many holes the Colts still need to plug on their roster.Perhaps if the Colts were in the middle of their Super Bowl window, there'd be an argument for valuing an insurance policy over a first-round pick so that they could stay afloat in the event Luck is forced to mi s a few games. But the Colts aren't a contender. If Luck goes down again with Kyle Phillips Jersey an injury, their season will be over, even if Bri sett is there to step in.A year ago, for as well as Bri sett played (17 total touchdowns and an 81.7 pa ser rating), the Colts still went 4-12. Only a quarterback of Luck's caliber is capable of pushing the Colts from a bad team to a competitive team. The Colts' goal should be to build a Super Bowl-caliber roster around Luck, who hasn't gotten enough help since arriving in Indianapolis. An extra first-round pick would help them do John Franklin-Myers Jersey exactly that. That's why it'd be borderline insane to choose Bri sett over a first-round pick. Then again, it's tough to imagine the Colts would ever get an offer like that for Bri sett. The set an and . If teams weren't willing to pay up for Foles, why would they be willing to pay up for Bri sett?It's also tough to imagine general manager Chris Ballard, who last September, pa sing up a first-round pick for his backup quarterback. In April, the Stephen Holder reported that but The offers probably didn't include a first-round pick, but there's no way to know for sure.Ballard clearly values Bri sett, who is But he might value a first-round pick more, despite how Irsay feels. In the end, all of this -- the refusal to trade Bri sett for a first-round pick in this imaginary world that Bri sett is suddenly worth a first- Corey Davis Jersey round pick -- appears to be nothing more than stuff Irsay decided to say out loud even though none of it really makes sense. Then again, the fact that it doesn't make sense is not entirely surprising. It's just the way the Colts have done things over the past couple years, from their lengthy refusal to fire former coach Chuck Pagano and former general manager Ryan Grigson to .
