Our Matt Holder was one of the first people to connect a potential Marcus Mariota trade to the suddenly quarterback-needy Indianapolis Colts.
The Colts may need a quarterback with starter Carson Wentz out for 5-12 weeks after having foot surgery on Monday as he was hurt at the Colts’ training camp late last week.
Now, Betonline has betting odds set for who will be the Colts’ Week 1 starter. You guessed it, Mariota is one of the favorites.
Odds on who starts for the Colts in Week 1 (via @betonline_ag):
Jacob Eason (-125)
Nick Foles (+300)
Brett Hundley (+500)
Sam Ehlinger (+550)
Marcus Mariota (+600)
Philip Rivers (+1000)
Cam Newton (+1200)
Jimmy Garoppolo (+1200)— Jaime Eisner (@JaimeEisner) August 3, 2021However, ESPN’s Chris Mortensen reported that the Colts aren’t focusing on trading for a quarterback at the moment.
