Colts Declare Anthony Richardson Untouchable Amid Trade Inquiries

Despite benching the young quarterback, Indianapolis remains committed to Richardson as their future starter.

The Indianapolis Colts received multiple trade inquiries for quarterback Anthony Richardson but declared him off-limits.
Richardson was benched in favor of veteran Joe Flacco, who is seen as providing a better chance to win currently.
Richardson has struggled this season, posting a league-low 44.4% completion rate and seven interceptions in six games.
Coach Shane Steichen insists the team is not giving up on Richardson and hopes to reinstate him as the starter eventually.
Richardson, the fourth overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, remains a long-term investment for the Colts despite current challenges.
