In a stunning development just confirmed by ESPN, the Indianapolis Colts are officially losing their starting quarterback to the Arizona Cardinals — only hours after a reported $89.7 million, 3-year deal was believed to be finalized.
This breaking move comes on the heels of a controversial three-month suspension, during which the quarterback faced penalties for violating NFL rules. Despite the Colts’ public support and ongoing negotiations throughout the offseason, sources now confirm that the player has touched down in Arizona to finalize a deal with the Cardinals.
While the specific details behind the sudden reversal remain under wraps, insiders cite behind-the-scenes tensions, unresolved contract clauses, and a shift in management strategy as potential catalysts.
The quarterback — whose identity is expected to be formally announced at an Arizona Cardinals press conference later today — was seen arriving at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport just moments ago. Sources say a medical evaluation and final contract signing are imminent.
This development marks a dramatic twist for both franchises: the Colts are now left scrambling to reassess their quarterback options for the 2025-2026 season, while the Cardinals appear to have pulled off a major coup heading into the fall.
