Colts GM: Richardson Available, But Nothing Materialized

During the 2026 NFL Annual League Meeting, Chris Ballard stated that trading Richardson is an option, but no offers have been deemed significant enough to move him. Despite interest from teams like the Browns, Packers, Rams, and Commanders, Ballard indicated "nothing's materialized at this point." Richardson carries a $10.816M cap hit but could save the team $5.3M if traded.

At just 23 years old, Richardson remains an elite athlete despite injury history and accuracy concerns. With re-signed starter Daniel Jones coming off an Achilles injury and backup Riley Leonard having limited experience, the Colts are exploring options at the most critical position in football.
