    Colts | Not pursuing extension for Marlon Mack
    Indianapolis Colts RB Marlon Mack is not in line for a contract extension at this time. '(Marlon), we love him, but we love the other two guys. We want him back and he wants to be back, really. There were some mis-reports that we were pursuing an extension there. That's not the case. I don't know where those came from,' team owner Jim Irsay said Sunday, Feb. 23.

    Colts | Indy keeping options open at QB
    Indianapolis Colts QB Jacoby Brissett is a player on the rise, but the Colts will consider all options at quarterback this offseason, according to owner Jim Irsay.
    Footballguys view: The Colts are in the market for an upgrade at the quarterback position. Brissett is okay as a starter, but the team could do better and they know it. Don't be surprised to see them in the hunt for someone like Philip Rivers on the open market. Colts head coach Frank Reich was Rivers' quarterback coach during the best seasons of his career with the Chargers.

    Titans | Marcus Mariota not expected back
    Tennessee Titans impending free-agent QB Marcus Mariota likely will not re-sign with the Titans this offseason, in the opinion of TitansOnline.com's Jim Wyatt.
    Footballguys view: Zero surprise here. Mariota was benched last year in favor of Ryan Tannehill only to see the Titans make a playoff run. We'll see the former first-round pick try and find a home as a backup and quality reserve...like Tannehill was for the Titans in 2019. Perhaps a team like the Broncos would be interested in having a quarterback like Mariota behind starter Drew Lock.
