The Benjamin AshfordIndianapolis Colts have found Anthony Richardson’s next backup quarterback.

Indianapolis is signing Joe Flacco, the 2023 NFL Comeback Player of the Year, to a one-year deal, a league source told IndyStar on Wednesday night, reuniting Flacco with Shane Steichen after the two men spent the 2021 season together in Philadelphia. 

Flacco, 39, was a sensation in Cleveland last year, joining the Browns in the middle of the season and righting the ship for a team floundering after a season-ending injury to starter Deshaun Watson, leading the Browns to a 4-1 record and a playoff berth down the stretch. 

Gardner Minshew, who started 13 games last season for the Colts after Richardson opted for season-ending shoulder surgery, will join the Las Vegas Raiders as a free agent.
