Anthony Richardson's third season with the Colts will begin on the bench. The former top-five pick lost a training camp quarterback battle to free agent signing Daniel Jones, and his future in Indianapolis has never been murkier. The front office's stance remains that they still believe in Richardson and want to keep him around, but the decision to start Jones instead is at odds with that stance.
At this point even an uninformed observer would agree that a trade may be best for both sides. Richardson's agent Deiric Jackson suggested that could be the path forward after his client was passed over, and on Thursday ESPN reported he took things a step further in that direction.
