Colts Back Daniel Jones Over Anthony Richardson as Jets Stick With Justin Fields and a Run-First Plan

Agent pushback has elevated questions about Richardson’s future, including his potential trade value.

Overview

  • Indianapolis named Daniel Jones the Week 1 starter, with coach Shane Steichen saying Jones is the starter for the season and not on a short leash.
  • Anthony Richardson’s agent, Deiric Jackson, said the decision left his client shocked and that "we have a lot to discuss," stopping short of a trade request.
  • League chatter has compared Richardson’s possible market to Trey Lance’s fourth-round return, with reports linking the Steelers and Rams as potential suitors if he becomes available.
  • Jets coach Aaron Glenn said he is very confident in Justin Fields and the passing game after limited preseason reps, as Fields reinforced a willingness to prioritize efficient short throws.
  • New York is evaluating veteran wide receiver options, according to The Athletic, with trade-idea pieces floating Jauan Jennings as a possible target opposite Garrett Wilson.
