Sam Ehlinger Rejects Colts' Active Roster Offer, Stays with Broncos

Quarterback Sam Ehlinger turned down an opportunity to join the Colts' active roster, opting instead to remain on the Broncos' practice squad. Ehlinger weighed his options for 48 hours after Daniel Jones tore his Achilles, stating, “We’re really happy here and enjoy the organization, the path we’re on and what we’re building. I want to be part of that.” He spent his first four seasons with the Colts after being a 2021 sixth-round pick, starting three games in 2022. Ehlinger will earn the league minimum of $1.17 million as a fifth-year player due to his Week 1 active roster status.
