Overview
- Richardson reported to voluntary workouts and called the chance to practice a blessing in disguise as he tries to sharpen his game.
- He has asked the Colts to trade him, yet he remains on the roster with what ESPN’s Adam Schefter described as a soft market.
- The Colts have committed to Daniel Jones as QB1 on a two-year, $88 million deal after his strong start last season before a torn Achilles.
- If no deal happens, Richardson is expected to battle rookie Riley Leonard for the backup job and could see extra reps while Jones recovers.
- A freak pregame accident in 2025 left Richardson with a fractured orbital bone and a season on injured reserve, and the team has declined his fifth-year option, positioning him for free agency after 2026.
