Anthony Richardson<\/a> is a likely trade candidate and, according to Stephen Holder of ESPN, the Green Bay Packers are a team to monitor on the quarterback sweepstakes. The team is looking for a Jordan Love backup.<\/p>\n

Anthony Richardson is still part of the Colts, though he is not a guy seen in the future of the team. Hence, he could be a cheaper QB with plenty of upside (though still very raw) for the Packers<\/a> to go for.<\/p>\n

Per Holder, the QB \u201cwould be attracted to a situation that pairs him with a proven QB developer. There are several coaches out there that check that box, including Matt LaFleur.\u201d After all, Richardson is only 23 years old and a freak athlete.<\/p>\n

LaFleur has a great developing reputation<\/p>\n

When Malik Willis arrived in Green Bay he was as raw as a prospect can be. While being Jordan Love\u2019s backup, Willis learned and developed under LaFleur<\/a>. When he played, he shined. In fact, LaFleur is the reason why Willis signed a three-year, $67.5 million deal.<\/p>\n

Same as Willis, Richardson is a very raw product, yet incredibly talented. Hence, he could see LaFleur as the best possible candidate. Richardson should see this as the opportunity to finally flourish.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Richardson must understand he will still not play much<\/p>\n

Jordan Love<\/a> is the undisputed QB1 of the Packers. So, if Richardson goes there, he must have the understanding that he is not even going to compete for the job. However, it\u2019s a chance to make something out of his career. And, when Jordan Love gets banged up, a solitary good performance would get his stock elevated massively. Richardson must be wise, and the Packers are a wise choice.<\/p>\n
