Richardson's performance with the Colts has been inconsistent, posting a 45.0 QBR as a rookie in 2023 and 47.4 QBR in 2024. He missed most of last season due to a fractured orbital bone sustained during pregame warmups.
With the Colts expected to sign Daniel Jones to a contract extension and Riley Leonard emerging as a backup option, Richardson faces an uncertain future. The 24-year-old, who was the 4th overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, carries a $10.8M cap hit next season.
