The Indianapolis Colts have given quarterback Anthony Richardson permission to seek a trade, his agent Deiric Jackson confirmed to ESPN. Richardson, the 2023 fourth overall pick, lost the starting job to veteran Daniel Jones last season and now faces an uncertain future in Indianapolis.

Richardson has struggled with injuries throughout his young career, including a scary orbital bone fracture during a pregame incident last season. Despite recent medical consultations confirming his vision has been restored, the 23-year-old faces limited opportunities with Jones expected to return as the starter. Richardson has started just 15 games for the Colts, throwing 11 touchdowns and 13 interceptions.

The trade permission opens possibilities for Richardson to find a fresh start elsewhere after three seasons in Indianapolis. With one year remaining on his rookie contract, the former Florida standout could become an intriguing option for teams seeking quarterback depth or developmental talent.
