<\/p>\nFans were ecstatic when the Indianapolis Colts selected Anthony Richardson with the fourth overall pick in 2023.<\/p>\n
The Florida quarterback was compared to Buffalo Bills superstar Josh Allen in the sense that he wielded a unique combination of speed, power, and a rocket arm.<\/p>\n

The only catch was that Richardson was an extremely raw prospect, so it would take a few years of seasoning and a bit of luck for these abilities to come to fruition.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, the polarizing quarterback has worn out his welcome in Indianapolis already with the team\u2019s brass bringing in veteran quarterback Daniel Jones as competition.<\/p>\n

Everyone outside of the Colts\u2019 building believes that the battle will be counterintuitive because both players have massive deficiencies in their games.<\/p>\n
They drafted a quarterback in the sixth round, so although he\u2019ll probably never play for the team unless there is a dire injury situation, Indianapolis is clearly willing to exhaust all options at the position.<\/p>\n

Kristopher Knox of Bleacher Report made a list of potential landing spots for some of the most logical trade pieces in the league and the Colts made the list.<\/p>\n
It is clear that the Atlanta Falcons have had enough of the Kirk Cousins experience and they are willing to trade him so he doesn\u2019t just rot away on the bench.<\/p>\n
Knox has Indianapolis signing up for a few seasons of Cousins in a move that would revive the quarterback position in Indiana.<\/p>\n
They\u2019ve been grasping at straws since Andrew Luck abruptly retired in 2019 and have had no luck.<\/p>\n
Cousins is obviously a far cry from the player he was with the Minnesota Vikings a couple seasons ago, but he proved during the first half of last season that he is still a capable starter in the league.<\/p>\n

This is a move the Colts should strongly consider as they won\u2019t have to give up much compensation and will get a quality starter in return.<\/p>\n
