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.
