Anthony Richardson, the Colts' quarterback, has been given a low trade probability by Bleacher Report before roster cuts. Analyst Moe Moton assigned a rating of 2 out of 10 for a potential deal, citing Indianapolis' depth at quarterback and the injury history of Daniel Jones. Despite Richardson's offseason trade request, the Colts aim to keep three quarterbacks, which may include him. Assistant general manager Ed Dodds emphasized the need for multiple capable signal-callers, especially after last season's rotation of three starters. Richardson is currently competing for the backup role after missing significant time due to injury.
