Richardson's early performances with Indianapolis have been inconsistent. As a rookie in 2023, he posted a 45.0 QBR in four starts, and in 2024, he registered a 47.4 QBR in 11 starts. He missed almost all of the 2025 season due to a fractured orbital bone sustained during pregame warmups.
The Colts are expected to sign QB Daniel Jones to a new contract extension, with second-year QB Riley Leonard showing promise in his limited action. With a projected $10.8M cap hit next season, the Colts have a decision to make on the 24-year-old former 4th overall pick from the 2023 NFL Draft.
