INDIANAPOLIS -- Multiple teams have inquired about the availability of Colts second-year quarterback Anthony Richardson ahead of the NFL trade deadline, but the team has maintained that Richardson is off-limits, a source told ESPN.
Richardson was benched last week for veteran Joe Flacco, creating doubt about the future of the 2023 fourth overall draft pick. Colts coach Shane Steichen said he made the decision to make Flacco the starter "going forward" because he determined that Flacco gave the team a better chance to win.
The Colts struggled Sunday night in a loss to Minnesota, producing one of their worst offensive performances of the season.
