According to reports, the Indianapolis Colts are interested in multiple experienced quarterbacks.
The Indianapolis Colts answer at quarterback is free agent Marcus Mariota, according to Dan Graziano.
It is not known if the Minnesota Vikings want to trade their starting quarterback.
While backing up Carr with the Las Vegas Raiders, Marcus Mariota made 61 starts in five seasons with the TennesseeTitans.
Most of the action with Las Vegas came on gadget plays. He averaged 8.0 yards per carry during the two seasons.
The Colts could use this to provide more depth in their offense, after Wentz averaged just 3.8 yards per carry last season.
In recent years, he has been much more efficient than Wentz, despite being more of a pocket passer. The three-time Pro Bowler had 33 passing touchdown with just seven turnovers last season.
With Jonathan Taylor returning as the NFL's leading rusher, Indianapolis doesn't need much production at quarterback to succeed. The defense ranked ninth in points allowed and contributed to a squad that finished one game out of the playoffs.
The Colts lost their last two games of the year to finish the year at 9-6.
Sam Ehlinger and James Morgan are the only two players on the roster after the trade of Wentz. Without a first-round pick, the chances of getting an impact rookies are slim.
It leaves the Colts scrambling for help in the future.
