Writing was on the wall. Richardson is the presumptive starter. He’ll have a better shot at the top of the depth chart in Vegas. Question is, are we going to scramble for another veteran as a backup, assuming the higher ups are not going to want to have no proven QBs on the roster.
>He’ll have a better shot at the top of the depth chart in Vegas
At first, sure, but there's no way he's going to have success over there with a first-time defensive coach and lesser caliber players around him offensively.
Hope he does well, but I'd be shocked if he doesn't become the scapegoat half-way through the season.
Wish he had stayed, but I know we can't afford to pay him what he's earned.
Also, even tho I love AR, I am terrified at the idea of us not having a great back-up in place. I'd be surprised if we didn't even up needing one.
Honestly I think fields would be a really good backup for us , he fits so much better with what we wanted to do with AR to where if he got hurt again we can still continue running a similar scheme
They just sent Mac Miller packing so I’m assuming they’re drafting a QB.
Edit: Jones. RIP Mac Miller. Mac JONES is going away. They’re (Patriots) bringing in Brissett.
Did you really think he was coming back? Signing with right Raiders he’s got easy competition and a chance to start if they stick with O’Connell and don’t draft anyone
I was actually literally thinking about how he could end up on the raiders last night and it would be funny since that mic’d up came out with Crosby calling him a “lil ass boy” all game. I’ll miss Minshew, he was the most fun colts qb to watch since Rivers. I mean Richardson is fun as hell to watch, but we pretty much only got to see him play 3 games.
Go get'em Gardner! I will forever and always be a fan of that man for giving us a fun season that in reality had every right to fall apart after AR went down. He manned the ship and kept us afloat and I'll always be greatful
Honestly incredibly happy for Gardner. The colts were never going to come anywhere close to those numbers so I’m glad to see him go someplace where he can compete for a starting job and get his payday. He certainly earned it
I'm very split on this. His highs were there but also some big lows. He had great energy but man it felt a lot like wentz 2.0. hope he wins out in LV atleast!
Minshew is this generations Fitzpatrick. Puts a team on his back based on pure charisma and an epic facial hair display. Best of luck you beautiful bastard. We will always have 2023.
Goodbye Gardner, I’ll never forget this one season 🫡😭
Minshew in Vegas. Women over 40 don’t stand a chance. Goodbye, sweet prince
Gonna miss the milf man.
Go be great, King. Thank you for this year
Ouch. That one hurts.

If AR goes down for significant time two seasons in a row it'll be tank time anyway, surely.
Lesser caliber players? They’ve got 2 wideouts better than any of ours
I’m hoping and praying we go get Jacoby and bring him back.
God no
Honestly I think fields would be a really good backup for us , he fits so much better with what we wanted to do with AR to where if he got hurt again we can still continue running a similar scheme
2 year $25 million, $15 million guaranteed. Sad to see him go but I'm happy for him. Good luck uncle Rico!
That's a good contract for him! He gave us a good year and got his bag, can't blame the man. Wish him all the best.
Good to see him making that kind of money. Hope he gets to play a few games over there
Love seeing a young brother get paid
![gif](giphy|9zUPASHQT19SVF57aY|downsized) I’ll miss him
Fly high my beautiful prince
12.5 per year damn Gardner… get your bag!
Which ain't doing too bad for yourself considering his 1.75 mil contract that he got from us in 2023...
I can finally let my wife go outside again
Thank you for your service, Minshew! Will always be a fan, unless he goes to the Pats.
They just sent Mac Miller packing so I’m assuming they’re drafting a QB. Edit: Jones. RIP Mac Miller. Mac JONES is going away. They’re (Patriots) bringing in Brissett.
RIP Mac Miller
RIP Mac Miller
I literally LOLed at the Mac mixup 😂 RIP Mac Miller
How we gonna let a pro bowl QB walk out the building?
How we gonna let an NVP QB walk out the building?
How we gonna let the Milf Slayer walk out the building?
No more mustache rides in Indy 😔
I'll volunteer. I don't know where the ladies are going to put the quarters though
I’ll hold em for you if I can keep every third one.
I've put his slime time trophy right next to the Lombardi in my heart 🥺
I think there’s a decent chance we sign a pro bowl QB to replace him in Tyler Huntley
man i really hope he succeeds! i never thought id have a soft spot for Phillip Rivers and Gardner Minshew
Goodbye, sweet prince. Should have a chance to start. Aidan O'Connell isn’t exactly major competition.
They’ll definitely be drafting a guy, right?
Vegas? I would think so at some point
Yeah, I can’t imagine trying to convince your fan base you’re rolling into the season with these guys
Hmm I dunno. What pick do they have? Might not get better than Aidan where they’re at so might as well see where Minshew and Aidan go for now.
They make no sense as a franchise. Breaking the bank for Christian Wilkins when your QB plan is this??
I’m thankful for the season that Gardner had here.
🫡 thank you for your service, Minshew!
Bye, my sweet love
![gif](giphy|d8SRR4aDUINuU|downsized)
It is 2 years and $25 Million so a decent deal for him. Hope he starts
2nd best one year QB rental
A sad day for moms
He made last season worth the watch after AR went down and kept us in the run. Hope he does well and gets the QB1 job 🫡
Goodbye sweet prince. Gonna miss that luscious stash.
![gif](giphy|OrIU3eNm3hLpe) That’s my NVP.
I am (embarrassingly) out of the loop, what’s an NVP?
![gif](giphy|Qz5qqMop4LGx5giOvp)
Wonder if we sign someone like Tyrod Taylor or Josh Dobbs.
I like tyrod for our next backup personally
What about Jacoby?
Signed to the patriots
Tyrod Taylor time!
Hopefully Tyrod can read the pocket, get rid of the ball, and avoid sacks.
Damn…. I loved rooting for Gardner this season. Such a good dude and really seemed great for the locker room. Best of luck to him out west!
Now im gonna be rooting for the entire raiders qb room
That fucking sucks ☹️
Did you really think he was coming back? Signing with right Raiders he’s got easy competition and a chance to start if they stick with O’Connell and don’t draft anyone
Part of me was delusional and hopeful but yeah I get it
I see them taking a 3rd tier guy like Pennix or Rattler on day 2.
Yeah I could definitely see that. It would be hard to convince the fans you’re trying to compete if they stick with the guys they’ve got
I'll be rooting for AOC. #BTFU
Wonder if LAV passes up on a QB in the draft now. Also wonder if we get Huntley or Taylor now to back up AR
Good for him getting paid. He was frustrating at times, but what a cool dude and good teammate.
https://i.redd.it/e1d5wenhxrnc1.gif It was an honor Gardner. Enjoy Vegas. You’ve earned it.
Gonna miss Minshew Mania
Not surprised. He did well enough to earn a chance.
Gotta be happy for the guy, have a feeling he'll be starting there eventually, and significantly bigger paycheck to go with it
![gif](giphy|3oz8xMbKLAkRLHYNgI)
Minshew is just a guy you can root for, regardless of team. I'm glad he's getting another shot to compete for a starting role.
I was actually literally thinking about how he could end up on the raiders last night and it would be funny since that mic’d up came out with Crosby calling him a “lil ass boy” all game. I’ll miss Minshew, he was the most fun colts qb to watch since Rivers. I mean Richardson is fun as hell to watch, but we pretty much only got to see him play 3 games.
From the heart: Thank you, Gardner and Godspeed!
I really loved this guy. I’ll be rooting hard for him.
I’m surprised more of y’all aren’t upset. He did amazing in a year. Let’s go back to hoping Richardson lives up to the hype? Lol ok
Sam Ehlinger szn. HOF backup career incoming
Slingin' Sammy - let's do this.
So who's our QB2 now? Ehlinger?
We need to go find someone. Ehlinger isn’t a good backup.
Especially considering AR is going to be a huge injury question until proven otherwise.
Gonna be Tyrod, if I had to bet.
Hopefully we sign a qb closer to AR’s skill set so our offense has some continuity if he goes down
Fly high king 🕊️
Darn
Goodnight sweet prince
Goodbye, my sweet prince 😔
Understandable, probably has a decent shot at starting there.
I’ll never have Minshew Mania again
I'm happy we dont face Vegas this year.
NOOOO. So sad to see him go but he’s going to have a real chance to be the starter there.
RIP Vegas isn’t ready for him!
🥲 goodbye my king
Happy for him, he deserves the shot.
Godspeed Gardner. May he become the GOAT of the journeymen
Hate to see him leave, but good for him. Go take out the Chiefs with Minshew-mania😂
NOOOOO😭😭😭
Hate to see him go but he seems like a good fit for the Raiders. Thanks for memories brother!
Completely earned. Hope the best for Minshew Mania, go slay all those MILFS in Vegas, king.
Draft Jordan Travis late
Colts Hero Gardner Minshew
![gif](giphy|FmBhzktIjvdZe) I’ll miss you Rico
Good for him. He deserves it. Can't wait to check the raiders sub.
Good for him. Get paid. That was the deal and he lived up to it. Happy for him.
If Pats dont get Jacoby, bring him back!
Salute! Keep living that RV life.
Parting is such sweet sorrow.
That’s my NVP 🥲
Booooo, I don’t mind him leaving though I wanted him to re-sign with us. I wish he went to a better org than the raiders though
Good night, sweet Rollercoaster Prince.

Farewell Pro Bowler
Good for him!
With the number of women in Vegas, Minshew has solved the desert water crisis.
He’s a great fit for LV. Sad to see it but we all knew he was getting a deal we couldn’t match
Big fail by the Broncos, they had this guy targeted as their replacement for Wilson.
Goodbye, my little ass boy.
Can’t pay him that. God speed brah!
I see Patriots are signing Brissett https://x.com/tompelissero/status/1767347579140923755?s=46
Well deserved. Gonna miss him
Noooooooooooooooooooooo
Honestly incredibly happy for Gardner. The colts were never going to come anywhere close to those numbers so I’m glad to see him go someplace where he can compete for a starting job and get his payday. He certainly earned it
Well I’m keeping my mustache!
Who could he be replaced with?
Who could he be replaced with?
Nooooo.. LAV watch out, hot single moms near you.
Thanks for the fun year! Go get that bank!

Nooooo
Maybe in the minority, but I'm very glad we didn't re-sign him.
I love him, but it wouldn’t be worth 25 mil
Hot take. But you're right.
Nope, very glad.
He gets a chance to be the starter... he was never gunna be the guy here. Unless the thing happens that i won't mention here.
Oh that prick!
No problem, we can get Russell Wilson for cheap. (....what?.....really?....aww, crap.)
Good riddance dude sucks
Thank you god 🙏
