Vikings consider trade for Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson

The Minnesota Vikings are exploring options to enhance their backup quarterback situation, potentially targeting Anthony Richardson from the Indianapolis Colts. Following the acquisition of Kyler Murray and return of Carson Wentz, discussions around Richardson’s trade value have surfaced. A fifth-round pick is projected as his potential asking price, though questions remain about his previous injury recovery. Teams, including the Vikings, are assessing whether to pursue Richardson, who was the fourth overall pick in 2023 and has shown flashes of talent despite some inefficiencies in his early career. The Vikings previously expressed interest in trading up for him before the 2023 draft.
