Colts' Richardson: Trade or Stay?

It's March 31st.

Welcome in.

This is NFL News Today, where football meets AI.

Colt GM Chris Ballard dropped a hint at the NFL league meeting that trading quarterback

Anthony Richardson before the 2026 season ain't said in stone.

He straight up said there's a real chance Richardson sticks around calling him a good dude with

serious talent who's just had bad breaks.

At 23 years old, drafted fourth overall out of Florida in 2023, Ballard's betting on

his growth despite the hype.

Earlier this week, Richardson lost the starting gig to Daniel Jones last season and even

after Jones tore his Achilles in week 14, the Colts, locked him up with a 2-year 88 million

dollar deal.

They gave Richardson's camp the green light to shop him at the scouting combine, but no

trades close right now.

Fans and analysts are split on this, with Richardson's career marked by injuries and inconsistency.

He went two and two as a rookie before a shoulder issue sideline him, then six and

five last year before fracturing his orbital bone.

Career wise, he's 50.6% passing for about 2,400 yards, 11 touchdowns and 13 picks, but

he shines.

Running with 634 yards and 10 scores.

Word is the green bay packers are circling, needing backup depth behind Jordan Love, now

that Malik Willis bounced to Miami.

Still, Richardson's trade values tanked, so the Colts might hold him as insurance if Jones

doesn't fully recover.

Bottom line, whether he stays put or lands elsewhere, expect Richardson backing up in

2026, his arm strength and 6 foot 4 frame keep, the door cracked for a comeback.
