Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson Sr. requested to be traded by the team in February after he realized he had no chance to start outside of injury.
However, Richardson recently provided an interesting update on where things stand between him and the team.
“I haven’t really even talked to my agent about that recently,” Richardson said via James Boyd of The Athletic. “I haven’t talked to [Chris] Ballard or anybody about that recently. I’m not necessarily sure what’s going on. But I’m just here right now, trying to make sure I can stamp my foot on this team and be the best version of myself I can be for the team.”

As of now, Richardson is battling with Riley Leonard to be Daniel Jones' backup, but it's safe to say that's not what he imagined for himself this season.
Richardson was once the No. 4 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft with immense upside. He has yet to even come close to that ceiling, though, completing just 50.6% of his passes for 2,400 yards, 11 touchdowns and 13 interceptions.
During the span, he has also rushed for 634 yards and 10 more touchdowns, showcasing his dual-threat ability.

However, with the start of the 2026 season right around the corner, Richardson seems willing to take on whatever role the Colts are envisioning for him.
“If that’s what the team wants, that’s what I want,” Richardson continued. “I just want go be able to help a team. If it’s this team, then I thank God for it. I’m just ready to showcase what I can do and be a winning piece to help the team win.”
That doesn't necessarily mean Richardson is rescinding his trade request as he would surely welcome another opportunity that gives him a better chance to start. But he does seem to be content with his situation heading into the final year of his rookie deal.
