Overview

• ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports Richardson is open to a move that pairs him with a premier playcaller to reset his trajectory for 2026.
• Insiders Dan Graziano and Fowler label Richardson an intriguing trade-deadline candidate, noting some teams gauged his availability in the offseason.
• Colts GM Chris Ballard said on Aug. 27, “We’re not trading him,” and current reporting stops short of any change in the team’s position.
• Daniel Jones has the Colts at 3-1 with a top-five scoring offense, potentially increasing the front office’s willingness to listen to interest.
• The NFL trade deadline is Nov. 5, and coverage generally expects Richardson to stay put unless market dynamics shift with stronger offers.
