From the moment Shane Streichen announced Daniel Jones as the Indianapolis Colts' starting quarterback for 2025, the trade rumors began. They are likely to continue until former starter Anthony Richardson is either dealt away or Colts’ management makes some definitive statement that rejects that notion.
The latter isn’t likely, and even if Steichen or GM Chris Ballard were to give a boilerplate “Anthony remains a vital part of our team…” pronouncement, it wouldn’t be believed. Indianapolis made its feelings about the former top-four draft pick clear when it elevated the Giants’ castoff Jones over him.
