Colts Planning To Sign QB Chad Kelly?

Tim Graham reports that after talking to the Colts about singing as an undrafted free agent, Central Connecticut State QB Jake Dolegala’s camp informed them that they were pulling out of the deal because Indianapolis was going to sign Chad Kelly to a contract.

Meanwhile, Stephen Holder reports that the Colts signing Kelly has been “percolating for a while.”
