Could the Pittsburgh Steelers explore the possibility of adding Anthony Richardson to their quarterback room after ESPN's Stephen Holder reported the Indianapolis Colts have granted the QB permission to seek a trade.
Pundits have linked the Pittsburgh Steelers to quarterback Anthony Richardson in trade rumors for months. On Thursday, the former No. 3 overall signal-caller officially became available for the Steelers.
ESPN’s Stephen Holder reported the Indianapolis Colts will allow Richardson to search for a trade partner this offseason.
“The Colts have given quarterback Anthony Richardson Sr. permission to seek a trade, his agent told ESPN on Thursday, the latest twist in the young player’s complicated career,” wrote Holder.
Richardson is entering his fourth season in the league. Last year, he lost the Colts starting quarterback job to Daniel Jones. Richardson played in just two games and finished the campaign on injured reserve after fracturing his orbital bone during pregame warmups in October.
In three seasons, Richardson has posted an 8-7 record as a starter. He’s also completed 50.6% of his passes while averaging 6.9 yards per pass. Richardson has thrown 11 touchdowns and ran for 10 scores while throwing 13 interceptions.
