Colts Sign QB Easton Stick

The Colts swapped quarterbacks today. The team announced that they’ve added free agent QB Easton Stick. In a corresponding move, the Colts waived QB Seth Henigan.

Stick is coming off a 2025 campaign with the Falcons. He spent most of the year on the active roster but didn’t get into a game. Before that, the 2019 fifth-round pick spent six years with the Chargers organization, where he eventually worked his way up to the role of Justin Herbert‘s primary backup.

He got an extended look in 2023. Stick completed 63.8 percent of his passes that season, throwing for 1,129 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception. The Chargers were winless in his four starts.

Stick will now be joining an unsettled depth chart in Indy. Daniel Jones continues to work his way back from an Achilles injury, although there’s optimism that he’ll be ready to go for Week 1. Meanwhile, the Colts were unsuccessful in their attempt to trade Anthony Richardson, and it’s uncertain how the former fourth-overall pick will factor into the team’s 2026 plans. Stick could be called upon depending Jones’ and Richardson’s roster status. At the very least, the newest addition will compete for backup reps with 2025 sixth-round pick Riley Leonard.

Henigan, a 2025 UDFA out of Memphis, had a stint on the Jaguars practice squad before catching on with the Colts in late December. The organization retained him this offseason via a reserve/futures contract.

The Colts made a handful of additional moves today, including the signings of center Josh Kreutz and cornerback Jai’Onte’ McMillan. To make room on the roster, the Colts waived guard LaDarius Henderson and cornerback Wyett Ekeler.
