Following the New England Patriots trade of backup quarterback Jacoby Brissett to the Indianapolis Colts on Saturday for wide receiver Phillip Dorsett, Brissett took to his social media accounts to thank the team that drafted him.

“To the Patriots organization thank you for the opportunity. The countless memories will live forever. To that locker and the friends/relationships that I’ve gain in such a short amount of time thank you guys for accepting me. Excited for this new journey in Indy and can’t wait to get started. #BloodBrothers…. Letsssss Gooooo”

Brissett will serve as the backup to Scott Tolzien week one following the news from Colts owner Jim Irsay that Andrew Luck’s “odds are most likely he won’t open up against the Rams.”
