Agent says Richardson's future with Colts uncertain

Anthony Richardson's agent, Deiric Jackson, said he's unsure of the quarterback's future in Indianapolis after the Colts named Daniel Jones as their starter for the 2025 season, according to ESPN's Stephen Holder.

"We have a lot to discuss," Jackson said about future discussions with the Colts.

While Jackson stopped short of demanding a trade, the agent hinted that the relationship between Richardson and the Colts may be strained.

"Trust is a big factor, and that is, at best, questionable right now," Jackson said. "Anthony came back and made the improvements in the areas he needed to improve. And by all accounts, he had a great camp."

Richardson said Tuesday he respects coach Shane Steichen's decision to go with Jones.

The 2023 No. 4 pick is having a roller-coaster start to his NFL career. Indianapolis benched the oft-injured passer for two games last season, with Steichen saying he wanted the 23-year-old signal-caller more invested.

The Colts lost two games with Joe Flacco under center in 2024 before turning to Richardson again.

"When they needed a big play last year, whose hands did they put the ball in? Anthony's," Jackson said.

Richardson finished the 2024 season with 11 appearances, completing 47.7% of his passes for 1,814 yards and eight touchdowns against 12 interceptions.

Indianapolis signed Jones to a one-year contract this offseason and held a QB1 competition at training camp. Richardson and Jones each started one preseason game.
