Richardson seems unlikely to be traded before the start of the regular season, Stephen Holder of ESPN reports.
Trade rumors have been swirling around Richardson ever since Daniel Jones joined the Colts and demonstrated he could handle starting quarterback duties in Shane Steichen's offense, but assistant general manager Ed Dodds downplayed the chances that the fourth overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft would get moved. "We want to have three [quarterbacks] that can play," Dodds said Sunday. "So, if [Richardson] is one of them, he's going to be here... Look at last year. You never know." Jones suffered a torn Achilles in Week 14 last season, and while he's on track to play in the Colts' 2026 season opener, the injury reinforced the organization's desire to have plenty of insurance under center. Richardson is competing in camp with Riley Leonard for the No. 2 spot on the depth chart.
