Colts fire OC Marcus Brady

ESPN

Nov 01, 2022 · 11:20 AM EDT

The Indianapolis Colts on Tuesday announced they have fired offensive coordinator Marcus Brady.

"This was an incredibly hard decision, but one I felt needed to be made in the best interest of the team," Colts head coach Frank Reich said in a statement. "I appreciate Marcus's commitment to the organization, and he made a significant contribution to our offensive success over the last five seasons. I wish him the best moving forward."

Fantasy Impact:

The Colts' offense has scored 17 or fewer points in five of their eight games this season. Indy (3-4-1) has also scored one touchdown or less in a game on four occasions this season, the story went on to say. Of course, the team just made a quarterback switch from Matt Ryan to Ehlinger last week.

PFT: QB Matt Ryan's contract prevents him from playing for Colts again

Pro Football Talk

Matt Ryan is done. He’s out. He won’t play again, for reasons rooted in his contract. Put simply, once the team decided (and it was clear from coach Frank Reich’s comments that owner Jim Irsay made the decision) that Ryan won’t be the quarterback in 2023, it was time to pull the plug on 2022.

Ryan’s contract already pays him $12 million in base salary next year, fully guaranteed. But millions more would become fully guaranteed if Ryan suffers an injury that keeps him from passing a physical by the third day of the 2023 league year in March, when the payments that are currently guaranteed for injury become fully guaranteed.

Specifically, Ryan has $7.205 million in additional 2023 salary guaranteed for injury, and a 2023 roster bonus of $10 million, which is also guaranteed for injury. That’s $17.205 million that the Colts would potentially owe Ryan (in addition to the $12 million) if he emerges from the 2022 season with an injury that prevents him from passing a physical by the middle of March.

Fantasy Impact:

Ehlinger officially becomes the starting quarterback of the Colts. If he fails or gets injured, Foles will take over. And if Foles gets injured, the quarterback will be anyone but Ryan, the story said.

Colts QB Sam Ehlinger to start Week 8

Colts head coach Frank Reich said QB Sam Ehlinger will start vs. Washington as Matt Ryan recovers from a Grade 2 shoulder sprain. Nick Foles will operate as the backup quarterback.

Fantasy Impact:

Though we would typically see this as a downgrade for the fantasy pieces in Indianapolis, it honestly doesn't get much worse than a Matt Ryan who can't push the ball down the field. It's very possible that Ehlinger will remain the starter for the immediate future.

Colts sign Nick Foles

The Indianapolis Colts have signed QB Nick Foles to a two-year deal.

Related Players: Sam Ehlinger

Fantasy Impact:

Not much to say beyond Foles being reunited with Frank Reich. He would be a useful QB2 in Superflex/Two-QB leagues should Matt Ryan go down. Foles' arrival also zaps any value Sam Ehlinger had in Dynasty formats.
