Colts face key decision on Anthony Richardson trade amid roster bonus deadline

The Indianapolis Colts may confront crucial trade talks regarding Anthony Richardson in August. With a roster bonus of $4.24 million due within the first 15 days of training camp, the Colts could see increasing trade interest once this payment is cleared. Currently, teams would only owe Richardson a base salary of $1.14 million if he is traded after the bonus is paid. Colts GM Chris Ballard intends to retain Richardson, but acknowledges the ongoing possibility of a trade following Richardson's initial request in February. Performance during camp and preseason will also be critical to determine interest in Richardson.
