Anthony Richardson: Not sure what's going on with trade request, just want to help the team
NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson is competing for the backup quarterback position behind Daniel Jones, facing off against Riley Leonard as the team prepares for its first preseason game against the Patriots.
- Despite Richardson's trade request earlier this offseason, Colts General Manager Chris Ballard has stated the team does not intend to trade him, and Richardson himself has not recently discussed trade matters with his agent or the team.
- Richardson expressed willingness to remain with the Colts as the third quarterback if head coach Shane Steichen chooses Leonard as the No. 2, emphasizing his desire to contribute and help the team win.
- There has been no significant trade interest in Richardson during the offseason or summer, but strong preseason performances could improve his prospects either in Indianapolis or elsewhere.
