Colts Allow QB Richardson to Seek Trade

The Indianapolis Colts have granted Anthony Richardson permission to seek a trade, ending speculation about the former No. 4 draft pick's future with the team.

The Colts, who have named Daniel Jones as their starting quarterback for 2026 and beyond, made the decision after Richardson lost the QB competition. The 2023 first-round pick has struggled with injuries and inconsistency in his young career, completing just 47.7% of his passes in 2024 with eight touchdowns and 12 interceptions.

Despite his struggles, Richardson remains attractive to teams as he's just 23 years old and possesses physical tools that could develop with proper coaching. His value on the trade market remains uncertain as the Colts weigh their options for the young quarterback's future.
