GM Chris Ballard: Colts won't trade Anthony Richardson despite interest from other teams

The Indianapolis Colts have named Daniel Jones as their starting quarterback over Anthony Richardson, raising speculation about Richardson’s future with the team. However, Colts General Manager Chris Ballard confirmed that the team is not considering trading Richardson, the fourth-overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. Ballard emphasized that the decision does not reflect a lack of confidence in Richardson but rather acknowledges Jones's professionalism and experience. The Colts see value in Richardson learning from Jones, comparing the situation to Alex Smith's mentorship role in Kansas City. Despite Jones winning the starting job, Indianapolis remains committed to developing Richardson for the future.
