are not present on the first day of offseason workouts in Indy. Both players have requested trades. There has been communication w both players and the sides are on the same page.

— Stephen Holder (@HolderStephen) April 20, 2026 It’s not exactly surprising, as Richardson’s camp was reportedly given permission by the Colts to seek out a trade earlier this offseason after starting quarterback Daniel Jones was re-signed and is now entrenched as the team’s QB1. Even when healthy, Richardson has seemed to fall out of favor with Colts head coach Shane Steichen, and both sides could arguably use a much needed change of scenery. Via OverTheCap, the Colts could save a projected $5.

386M by trading Richardson this offseason. In the Colts’ case, 2nd-year pro Riley Leonard, after an encouraging debut career start in last year’s regular season finale, seems capable of serving as Indy’s primary backup quarterback behind Jones going forward in place of Richardson—if needed and called upon. Meanwhile, Moore II, the longtime Colts slot cornerback and defensive leader of their locker room, who’s spent the last 9 seasons in Indianapolis and earned Pro bowl honors back in 2021, has agreed with the team to mutually explore trade opportunities—meaning that they’ll likely part ways soon.
