Anthony Richardson wants a trade, and the Colts would love to trade him. But what has been described as a \u201csoft market\u201d by Adam Schefter of ESPN leaves the quarterback with the team for now . . . and maybe the foreseeable future.<\/p>\n

Richardson skipped the beginning of the team\u2019s voluntary offseason program, but he showed up May 4 for Phase 2 of the workouts.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Colts are still giving me a chance<\/a> to go out there and work, work hard and potentially get on the field,\u201d Richardson said, via the Indianapolis Star. \u201cGlad to be able to stay in the NFL and put the work in. Just showing up at OTAs, it was a blessing in disguise for me, because I just wanted to work and they allowed me to do that so I\u2019m thankful for that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Richardson, the No. 4 overall pick in 2023, lost the starting job to Daniel Jones last season. Coach Shane Steichen last week sidestepped a question about whether Richardson would compete with Riley Leonard, a 2025 sixth-round pick, for the backup job to Jones.<\/p>\n

Richardson didn\u2019t get into specifics about his future.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I don\u2019t put that work in to be a better player then I won\u2019t be in the NFL,\u201d Richardson said. \u201cI just want to work hard and constantly think about my opportunity that I have now and try to take advantage of it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Richardson is recovering from a right eye injury after a freak pregame accident on Oct. 12 that left him with a fractured orbital bone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Anthony Richardson wants a trade, and the Colts would love to trade him.
