Richardson reporting to offseason workouts adds intrigue to the Colts’ QB room
There could be some serious competition for the Colts at quarterback.

Anthony Richardson ended his two-week holdout and is back in the building with the Indianapolis Colts for voluntary offseason workouts. While labeling it a “holdout” is cheeky, Richardson wasn’t overly keen to rejoin the team, but with no trade in sight and money and potential playing time on the line, he decided to acquiesce.
This may seem minor now, but it could add some serious intrigue to the Colts’ quarterback room in 2026. All of this comes with the caveat that the Colts don’t find a trade partner in the meantime, but as it currently stands, Richardson will be part of the Colts this year. This could all be moot if that happens.
What seems more likely, however, is that there could be a quarterback battle brewing. One must first ask, will Daniel Jones be ready to go? A torn Achilles is no joke, and watching Jayson Tatum sit out Game 7 in the first round of the NBA playoffs might have people hesitant to rush him back.
