The New England Patriots have traded former NC State quarterback Jacoby Brissett to the Indianapolis Colts in exchange for wide receiver Phillip Dorsett Saturday, according to Field Yates with ESPN.

The move came just hours before the 4 p.m. deadline for roster cuts, as NFL teams were tasked with trimming rosters from 90 players to 53 after preseason games ended Thursday.

After being selected by the Patriots in the third round in 2016 alongside fellow Wolfpack alum Joe Thuney, Brissett started two games, completing 61.8 percent of his passes for 400 yards and added 16 carries for 83 rushing yards and a touchdown. The two starts came while Tom Brady served his four-game suspension and Jimmy Garoppolo nursed an injury. Brissett garnered a 1-1 record in that span.

In his last preseason game with the Patriots, Brissett had a night to remember, throwing for 338 yards and four touchdowns with a 71.7 completion percentage and added 20 yards and a touchdown on the ground.

This performance undoubtedly played a role in increasing his trade value for New England as he looks to find a new role with the Colts. While Andrew Luck is out with an injury, Brissett will compete with Scott Tolzien for playing time at the position. He has eight days to learn the Colts’ playbook before they open the season against the Los Angeles Rams on the road Sept. 10.
