The Colts signed rookie quarterback Brad Kaaya off the Lions’ practice squad on Tuesday, ESPN’s Mike Garafolo reports (Twitter link). 
It’s yet another move for the Miami product, who was drafted by the Lions and cut entering the regular season. He was then claimed by the Panthers on Sept. 3 and then released on Oct. 17. Detroit swooped in to reclaim him on Oct. 18, but was cut yet again just five days later. He rejoined the team and was assigned to the practice squad just days later and served there until the Colts snagged him.
With the Hurricanes, Kaaya appeared in 38 games in his first three seasons and amassed 9,968 yards before declaring for the draft following his junior season. Though he was projected as a third- or fourth-round pick in 2017, Kaaya slipped all the way to the sixth round.
With Andrew Luck set to return in 2018 and current starter Jacoby Brissett under contract through 2019, it seems unlikely Kaaya will contribute with the Colts in the future.
I really liked Kaaya at Miami but even at the time I thought he made a bad choice to go pro instead of returning for his senior year
The hurricanes did a lot better with a more mobile quarterback. I’m glad he went pro, from that standpoint, but wish it worked out better for him in the pros
It definitely worked out pretty well for Miami, but I meant that from Kaaya’s perspective he could have used another year in college. But yes, Miami had a great year even without him.
A Hurricane player takes home more $ than a practice squad player.
I still think it’s so cool that his mom is Felicia from the movie Friday
This kid was supposed to be a first round pick for the longest time. He really fell off the map
As did Felicia.
