Ok I’ll entertain this… there’s alot of different ways to look at this here’s how I slice it…
Let’s play the what if game!!!
What if Richardson wins the backup job ends up getting playing time and actually comes in and plays some really good football?
Then what? His contract is up, you gonna give him 50 mil a year?
To me this is Richardson and the Colts trying to improve his trade value because they don’t wanna cut him. They’re hoping another team out there will fall in love with the hype.
The contract situation and Riley Leonard’s ascension have made this an easy decision.
Richardson may end up being a starter and a good QB someday or hell he could end up being a career backup Gardner Minshew type, I still wish him the best because the situation got botched on both sides. Colts were desperate and tried to force things that they should’ve known better. Richardson was a young guy that acted like he won the lottery instead of working his ass off.
No matter what while it lasts the “QB #2 battle “ will be fun to watch
