Colts GM Ballard addresses Anthony Richardson's trade request as camp begins

Indianapolis Colts General Manager Chris Ballard spoke with media regarding quarterback Anthony Richardson's trade request as training camp starts. Ballard confirmed Richardson's request remains active but emphasized the team's intention to retain him, stating they won't "give him away." Despite having requested the trade in February, a market has not developed. Richardson is presently competing with Riley Leonard for the backup quarterback position. A critical point in this situation arises on the third day of camp, when Richardson is set to receive a $4.2 million roster bonus, which could influence potential trade discussions.
