ESPN drops brutal reality check for Colts' Anthony Richardson

The situation for Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson isn't the best.

With the Colts giving Richardson permission to seek a trade away from the franchise this offseason, so far, that has yet to materialize.

And in truth, that likely tells you all you need to know.

Now, the Colts reportedly aren't closing the door on Anthony being on the roster in 2026, but in an ideal world, he gets dealt this offseason.

For ESPN's Adam Schefter, he dropped a rather brutal update on why nothing has happened for Richardson as far as a trade this offseason.

"The market for him was soft," Schefter said on the Pat McAfee Show. "If there was a market for him, they would have traded him."

What's next for Richardson?

Well, he will stay on the Colts' roster until something happens. If it doesn't, he remains a Colt.

The most likely scenario, I think, is that Richardson stays on the roster, and if a quarterback gets injured in training camp, it could be then that a team offers to take Anthony off Indianapolis' hands.

But other than that, as Schefter stated, there wasn't really a market for Richardson, and that tells you how the league currently views him.

It looks like he will remain a Colt, unless something substantial happens over the coming months.
