It sounds like the Indianapolis Colts could be trading quarterback Anthony Richardson in the foreseeable future.
According to NFL reporter Evan Sidery, the Colts have had trade discussions with multiple teams about Richardson, including the Green Bay Packers, Detroit Lions, and Los Angeles Rams.
Sidery adds that Richardson's trade value is believed to be a late Day 3 pick.
"The Colts are in trade discussions with multiple teams on Anthony Richardson, which could lead to a deal happening this weekend.
Indianapolis gave Richardson permission to seek a trade a few weeks ago, and it makes no sense for the former first-round pick to remain with the Colts after the franchise signed Daniel Jones to a two-year extension.
Green Bay, Detroit, and Los Angeles would all be logical landing spots for Richardson.
The Packers need a backup signal-caller after the departure of Malik Willis to the Miami Dolphins, and if there's a place Richardson should go to revive his career, it's Green Bay.
Richardson could have the same story Willis just had with the Packers and relay his time in Green Bay into a starting opportunity.
The Lions could also add Richardson to the fold to serve as Jared Goff's backup. Learning from Goff would be incredibly beneficial for Richardson.
If the Rams decide not to bring back Jimmy Garoppolo, why not acquire a reclamation project like Richardson to back up Matthew Stafford? Richardson could be Los Angeles' eventual replacement for Stafford if they trade for the Florida product and let him develop for a year or two, depending on how much time Stafford has left in the NFL.
Richardson's tenure in Indianapolis was disappointing, but a change of scenery in 2026 could be what he needs to get his career on track.
