Colts' QB Shake-Up: Flacco Starts as Richardson's Future Uncertain

The Indianapolis Colts have declared quarterback Anthony Richardson off-limits for trades despite benching him for veteran Joe Flacco. Coach Shane Steichen stated that Flacco gives the team a better chance to win, but the Colts still view Richardson as their future quarterback. Richardson, the 2023 fourth overall draft pick, has struggled with a low completion rate and interceptions, yet remains a valuable asset due to his physical abilities. The Colts plan to reinstate him as a starter eventually, maintaining their commitment to his development.
