The Indianapolis Colts<\/a> and quarterback Anthony Richardson<\/a> have mutually agreed to seek a trade.<\/p>\n

Once Daniel Jones was named the Colts<\/a>‘ starting quarterback last summer, this outcome felt inevitable.<\/p>\n

Richardson<\/a> has already been connected to the Minnesota Vikings<\/a> in a report from NFL Network, but what is the former fourth overall pick looking for in his next landing spot?<\/p>\n

Richardson’s agents, Deiric Jackson and Chris Rogers of Legacy Sports Advisors, recently spoke with FOX Sports Henry McKenna<\/a> about the trade talks.<\/p>\n

“Just looking for fits \u2014 teams that want to build and put AR in a position to succeed,” Jackson told McKenna.<\/p>\n

Injuries have been an unfortunate part of Richardson’s career up to this point. In three seasons, he’s appeared in just 17 games.<\/p>\n

When on the field, Richardson’s play has been inconsistent. He’s completed just\u00a050.6%<\/a>\u00a0of his pass attempts with 11 touchdowns to 13 interceptions. He’s also rushed for 634 yards and 10 additional touchdowns.<\/p>\n

However, Richardson is still just 23 years old, and the talent that he possesses is evident. In recent years, we’ve seen a few quarterbacks thrive when given second or even third or fourth chances in a new environment.<\/p>\n

“He needs a fresh start. [His next team] is gonna be surprised to find out how smart he is,” Rogers told McKenna. “When he was drafted, he was 20 years old. So now he’s mature. He’s seen a lot. \u2026 I just think his next stop \u2014 it’s going to be box office.”<\/p>\n

Richardson’s agents wouldn’t discuss which teams had reached out.<\/p>\n

“He’s got something to prove,” Rogers added. “He’s going to do his job. He’s going to give his team the best chance to win. He’s excited.”<\/p>\n

As far as what the Colts could get in return for trading Richardson, recent history<\/a> could give us an idea, but ultimately, this will be determined by how strong Richardson’s trade market is. Richardson possesses a ton of sky-high untapped potential that could certainly be intriguing for teams.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Feb. 27, 2026, 8:46 a.m. ET The Indianapolis Colts and quarterback Anthony Richardson have mutually agreed to seek…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":781831,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2059],"tags":[95878,2005,7,2004,392,2381,6,49915,95900,95882,98103,96015,96255,95903,95899,95883,95881],"class_list":{"0":"post-781830","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-indianapolis-colts","8":"tag-accessfree","9":"tag-colts","10":"tag-football","11":"tag-indianapolis","12":"tag-indianapolis-colts","13":"tag-indianapoliscolts","14":"tag-nfl","15":"tag-sstssportsnflcolts","16":"tag-sstsncolts","17":"tag-tagamerican-football","18":"tag-taganthony-richardson","19":"tag-tagdaniel-jones","20":"tag-tagfox-sports","21":"tag-tagindianapolis-colts","22":"tag-tagoverall-neutral","23":"tag-tagsports-news","24":"tag-typestory"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116147481955646197","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/781830","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=781830"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/781830\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/781831"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=781830"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=781830"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=781830"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
