Colts GM Chris Ballard on Potential Jacoby Brissett Trade: 'I Won't Do It'

While Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck proved he was healthy this season, the team doesn't intend to trade away backup Jacoby Brissett.

"I won't do it," general manager Chris Ballard said Monday, per Zak Keefer of the Indianapolis Star.

Ballard apparently had a meeting with the quarterback and told him, "I'm not giving you away," per Mike Chappell of Fox 59.

Even if he doesn't play, there is value in keeping Brissett on the roster as some security in case Luck gets injured.

"I like to sleep at night," Ballard explained.
