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.

First of all, if they were dead set on being rid of him, if they were willing to simply cut bait and let him walk, they never would have forked over a $4.24 million roster bonus on the third day of the league year in order to keep him around. You can buy a lot of ham and cheese sandwiches for that kind of money.
As far as Leonard is concerned, I’d have real doubts about putting a lot of eggs into that basket. The fact that he played well against a Houston team with no stake in winning doesn’t make me want to hop on that particular bandwagon.
As far as Richardson’s market value being low, I agree. I also agree that he’s third on the depth chart. But crap happens. Even if Richardson doesn’t take a single snap, this year, teams will have an interest, next March.
As far as Ballard’s concerned, you can’t fire a GM because he missed on a 1st round QB. For every hit at the position, 2 miss. He’s put together a solid roster, had what most analysts agree is a good draft, and he has 4 pro bowlers returning from injury.
If Jones can stay on the field, this is an 11 or 12 win team.
