Richardson's performance with the Colts has been inconsistent. As a rookie in 2023, he posted a 45.0 QBR in four starts, followed by a 47.4 QBR in 11 starts in 2024. He missed most of the 2025 season after suffering a fractured orbital bone during pregame warmups.
The Colts are expected to sign Daniel Jones to a contract extension, with Riley Leonard showing promise in limited action. With Richardson due a $10.8M cap hit next season, the team faces a decision on the 24-year-old, who was the 4th overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft.
