With Matt Hasselbeck's retirement, the Indianapolis Colts needed a backup for quarterback Andrew Luck, and they signed unrestricted free agent quarterback Scott Tolzien, the team announced Friday.
"We looked at a number of quarterbacks during this process and we felt Scott fit us on a number of levels," said Colts general manager Ryan Grigson in a statement. "He is a young, highly intelligent, tough and driven individual who we feel possesses a lot of potential."
