Anthony Richardson wants a trade, and the Colts would love to trade him. But what has been described as a "soft market" by Adam Schefter of ESPN leaves the quarterback with the team for now . . . and maybe the foreseeable future. Richardson skipped the beginning of the team's voluntary offseason program, but he showed up May 4 for Phase 2 of the workouts. "The Colts are still giving me a chance to go out there and work, work hard and potentially get on the field," Richardson said, via the Indianapolis Star . "Glad to be able to stay in the NFL and put the work in. Just showing up at OTAs, it was a blessing in disguise for me, because I just wanted to work and they allowed me to do that so I'm thankful for that." Richardson, the No. 4 overall pick in 2023, lost the starting job to Daniel Jones last season. Coach Shane Steichen last week sidestepped a question about whether Richardson would compete with Riley Leonard, a 2025 sixth-round pick, for the backup job to Jones. Richardson didn't get into specifics about his future. "If I don't put that work in to be a better player then I won't be in the NFL," Richardson said. "I just want to work hard and constantly think about my opportunity that I have now and try to take advantage of it." Richardson is recovering from a right eye injury after a freak pregame accident on Oct. 12 that left him with a fractured orbital bone.
