The Colts aren’t in need of a starting quarterback as long as Peyton Manning is around, but the departure of Jim Sorgi means they could use a new backup. They hope they’ve found one in the man they’ve just acquired, Tom Brandstater.
Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that the Colts have claimed Brandstater after he was waived by the Broncos last week.
Brandstater was a three-year starter at Fresno State who was drafted by the Broncos in the sixth round of last year’s draft. Broncos coach Josh McDaniels explained last week that the team waived Brandstater not because he did anything wrong, but simply because there weren’t enough reps to go around in Denver.
