Anthony Richardson

FOX Sports’ Jordan Schultz reports teams have inquired about trading for Anthony Richardson.

Per Schultz, teams still view Richardson as a franchise quarterback. His sources called the young passer’s benching “premature.” As Schultz notes, a midseason trade for the former No. 4 overall pick is unlikely, but that won’t stop teams from trying to score a deal on a physically gifted quarterback who was benched after just 10 starts. If Richardson were to be traded, it would almost certainly come after the season, when Indy can make plans to move forward beyond a few Joe Flacco spot starts.
