He hasn’t exactly carved out a reputation for diligence and dedication to his craft. He’s injury prone, and he’s had problems with accuracy and anticipation.
Let’s start out with the simplest what if. What if he’s healthy. What if the vision problems clear up? If they don’t, he has no market value, no one is going to sign him, much less part with draft capital for him.
Second, let’s assume that all the hours he spent working with coaches in the past two off-seasons pays off and he is able to hit the broad side of a barn at 20 yards.
What if he’s healthy has a good training camp and looks competent in preseason action?
What if Daniel Jones misses 3 or so games, Richardson goes in and they win 2 or 3. What if he completes 60% of his passes, puts up some td’s, eliminates errors, and demonstrates that he has the potential to develop into a quality NFL Quarterback?
In a free agent market usually devoid of quality at the position, what is he worth?
In 2026, losing a player who signed for $6 Million per season got you a 6th round pick.
A player getting $10.5 Million got a 5th.
For $16 Million, you got a 4th.
And losing a guy who received $25 Million was good for a 3rd.

Given all the noise, and what appears to be a real disdain for him by SS, you have to think they would take a ham sandwich to have him off the roster. Leonard looked plenty fine in the backup spot and let's be real, if Jones is not able to go to start, it's going to be Leonard's spot duty, not Richardson's. Even if he were on the roster, he is the emergency QB only- he is NOT getting backup reps under Steichen.
So, that would say teams have assessed him, and probably more likely his overall situation, and decided it was not worth any capital at all to make a move to get him. Instead, there are probably a handful of teams that would be glad to take him, after he is cut. I do not expect him to be a Colt for much longer and I don't think we get anything in return.
Just another botched fucking shit show initiated by an inept blow hard ass clown that has as much merit to be the GM of an NFL team as the zit on my ass has flying a fighter jet. He just simply sucks at his job.
