Colts QB Jacoby Brissett A Washington Football Team Fit, Says Expert Analyst

ASHBURN, Va. — The Washington Football Team has been connected with just about every quarterback that has a pulse, except for one. 

Jacoby Brissett. The former New England Patriots and probably former Indianapolis Colts QB who is set to hit free agency in a week. 

Could he be a target in Washington? Could he be a fit?

Logan Paulsen, a 10-year veteran tight end in the NFL with the WFT along with stops in Chicago, Atlanta, San Francisco and Houston was a guest of the Locked On Washington Football Team podcast on Monday with David Harrison and myself and explained why he feels this is a match that could work. 

Paulsen’s point in general was that the WFT were targeting some big names that are un-obtainable and/or are likely washed up.

“as a bridge guy” made sense to Paulsen and certainly to anyone because he immediately filled in the gap when Andrew Luck retired after also filling in for Tom Brady as a rookie in New England. 

“He has a skillset that fits what the Washington Football Team needs right now,” Paulsen said. 

About the WFT offense: “He’s going to learn it quickly and effectively …and he’s not super expensive.” 

All of that is probably true. One intriguing aspect of Brissett is deep-ball accuracy.
