When a quarterback with Anthony Richardson's raw talent hits the trade block, the NFL world pays attention. The former Colts first-round pick remains in Indianapolis for now, but the clock is ticking on his future. According to ESPN NFL insider Jeremy Fowler, Richardson has a clear vision for his next destination.

The 2026 NFL draft came and went without a deal, but that hasn't stopped the rumor mill. Fowler reports that Richardson is seeking a landing spot rooted in the offensive coaching tree of Sean McVay, Kyle Shanahan, and Matt LaFleur. It's a system that has revived careers before—just look at Malik Willis thriving under LaFleur in Green Bay or Mac Jones finding his footing with Shanahan in San Francisco.

ESPN's Stephen Holder has even floated the Packers as a potential suitor for Richardson, a move that would pair his dynamic athleticism with a proven offensive framework. The Colts and Richardson mutually agreed to explore a trade back in late February at the NFL combine, but the market has been "soft," according to Adam Schefter. No pre-draft or draft-day deal materialized, leaving the situation in limbo.

"Nothing surprises me anymore," Colts general manager Chris Ballard said after the draft, via FOX59. "We'll have a little patience here and see what happens. We'll let it play out as it does over time." Ballard hasn't ruled out Richardson staying put, but the Colts want fair compensation. With training camp looming, there's growing motivation for Indianapolis to finalize a deal rather than let the drama drag on.
