Ed Dodds suggests Colts will keep Anthony Richardson for depth
ESPN • • sports
Key Points:
- The Indianapolis Colts appear likely to retain quarterback Anthony Richardson Sr., as assistant GM Ed Dodds emphasized the team's priority on maintaining quarterback depth.
- Dodds stated, "I think you take care of your own team first," signaling a preference to keep Richardson rather than trade him.
- Last season's quarterback injuries, including Daniel Jones' Achilles tear and Richardson's orbital fracture, forced the Colts to rely on Philip Rivers, highlighting the need for multiple capable quarterbacks.
- Richardson, the No. 4 overall pick in the 2023 draft, lost the starting job to Jones last year and requested a trade in February, but no trade materialized, and he has since returned to team activities.
- The Colts aim to have three quarterbacks ready to play, with Richardson potentially being one of them, reflecting caution based on last year's injury challenges.
