Colts plan to keep three quarterbacks amid trade speculation
Summary

Indianapolis Colts general manager Chris Ballard confirmed that the team intends to retain quarterbacks Daniel Jones, Anthony Richardson, and Riley Leonard as training camp approaches. Despite Richardson's trade request, the Colts are valuing the competition between him and Leonard for the backup role. Ballard noted he would not rush to trade Richardson unless a favorable deal arises, especially given Jones' history of injuries. This decision comes as teams assess their quarterback depth ahead of the upcoming season.
