Buccaneers consider trade for Anthony Richardson amid Baker Mayfield injury

Summary

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are contemplating a trade for Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson after Baker Mayfield's thumb injury has sidelined him for at least three weeks. With Mayfield injury-plagued and the team winless, they now start undrafted rookie Jalon Daniels as quarterback. Analysts suggest acquiring Richardson, a former No. 4 overall pick, who has struggled and lost his starting role. A potential trade could help Richardson regain form as the Buccaneers look to improve this season.
