Grade Indianapolis Colts sign QB Easton Stick
Your grade joins the crowd-sourced Fan Verdict.
Colts add depth at quarterback with a low-risk, low-reward backup signing. Media coverage treats this as routine roster management, not a significant acquisition. Stick's practice squad pedigree and limited NFL experience signals Indianapolis needs reliable insurance. Fans view this neutrally—solid depth addition without playoff implications. Expect Stick to compete for third-string duties while the Colts develop younger options.
This signing grades out as a slight overpay for the Indianapolis Colts — the team is paying more than the on-field production currently warrants. Easton's on-field performance ranks in the lower half among NFL QBs, grading him as a rotational player at the position. His $1.3M average annual value ranks as minimum-level money for the QB market. The production lines up closely with the price tag — rotational player production at minimum-level money, which is essentially paying fair market value. Easton is squarely in his prime, which adds to the deal's upside — the team should get multiple productive seasons out of this contract. The 1-year, $1.3M deal keeps the commitment short, giving the team financial flexibility to move on if performance drops.
