According to PFF, Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson is listed among their ‘15 trade candidates ahead of the 2026 offseason’: QB Anthony Richardson, Indianapolis Colts The Colts’ path to contention was rapidly dashed midseason, especially after Daniel Jones tore his Achilles in Week 14. Now, Indianapolis has several major questions ahead — including what to do with Richardson. The former fourth overall pick played just 14 total snaps last season, missing a golden opportunity to gain reps because of an orbital fracture. Across his three-year career, Richardson has recorded just a 60.0 overall PFF grade with 22 big-time throws and 19 turnover-worthy plays. The Colts will likely want to secure at least some viable depth behind Jones coming off of a significant injury, which could convince them to retain Richardson. But it also wouldn’t be surprising to teams take a swing on the 23-year-old, especially given his raw talent and the recent wave of first-round reclamation projects under center. Even with incumbent Colts starting quarterback Daniel Jones set to become a pending 2026 league free agent and currently recovering from a later season torn Achilles—with no clear timetable for when he’ll be ready for 2026, Richardson’s future in Indianapolis appears very murky at best. While Richardson was both lauded for being a good teammate and shown sympathy for his downright terrible injury luck this season, neither team owner Carlie Irsay-Gordon nor longtime general manager Chris Ballard were very committal in end-of-season pressers toward the rising 4th-year quarterback and former 2023 4th overall pick, who lost his starting job to Jones during a heated training camp and preseason battle last offseason. Further complicating Richardson’s future is that rookie Riley Leonard recently played pretty well against the Houston Texans’ vaunted first-team defense during the first half of the regular season finale a few weeks ago. However, it’s fair to point out though that such a sample size is still very limited. That being said, Leonard shows promise as a potential long-term QB2 behind Jones, or whoever else is starting for the Colts the next few years. Because of a freak medical band training accident suffered pre-game during Week 6, Richardson fractured his orbital bone and was essentially lost for the remainder of the 2025 season on injured reserve after surgery. At season’s end, he was still suffering from vision limitations and was never activated off I.R., despite practicing. It was a devastating blow for Richardson’s development and chances of reclaiming Indy’s starting QB1 job—and arguably the Colts realistic (and then ever dwindling) playoff chances, who collapsed down the stretch run yet again, after once sitting at 8-2, but then losing 7 straight games to close out the 2025 campaign. Having lost Jones to the season-ending Achilles injury in Week 14, and presumably Richardson already, Indianapolis was without both its first and second-team quarterback down the final stretch run—causing the Colts to make a desperation play for 44-year-old quarterback Philip Rivers to unretire for 3 starts (having not played in 5 years) and then turning to Leonard once eliminated from the playoff hunt for the season finale. After a tantalizing 4 start sample size as a rookie 2023 before being lost to a season-ending shoulder injury, Richardson has been plagued with further injuries, some alleged maturity issues (including the infamous in-game tap-out we saw firsthand in 2024), and throwing accuracy issues. He did show more polish the last handful of games in 2024 and arguably outplayed Jones, at least on the field during last offseason, although the latter did all the little things that Colts fans didn’t see in person that ultimately won him the starting job outright. It is concerning for Richardson that Jones seemed to master the Colts offense in a matter of months, when Richardson had been here for over 2 years and hadn’t demonstrated…

À en croire diverses sources espagnoles, le Sud-Coréen serait ouvert à un départ à l’Atlético lors du mercato d’hiver.

L’Ecosse a révélé ce mardi sa liste pour le Tournoi des six nations. Jamie Ritchie et Jonny Gray en font notamment partie.

It probably was not as smooth as you would have drawn it up, but the Suns took care of business in Brooklyn on Monday night. They never fully shook the Nets, yet they controlled the game anyway. Brooklyn was doing it on the second night of a back-to-back, which made it even more impressive, especially after falling into an early 20-point hole. You could feel the Nets gaining confidence as the night went on. They shot 50.6% from the field and 39.5% from deep and kept pushing. The difference came on the defensive end, specifically in how Phoenix handled Michael Porter Jr. The plan was clear: let the kids around him fire. Make everything he wanted uncomfortable. It worked. He finished with 23 points, but it took 23 shots to get there, including 2-of-10 from beyond the arc. The Suns led nearly wire-to-wire after a brief 6-3 deficit, though a 15-2 run to close the second quarter let Brooklyn linger longer than ideal. Same story in the fourth. Not perfect. Still effective. Phoenix held on for win number 26. It was a full team effort to reach 126 points. Three players cleared 20. Six finished in double figures. Scoring came from everywhere. The road trip now sits at 2-2 with two games left, and the Suns are back to even at 12-12 away from home. Bright Side Baller Season Standings It was close after the Suns’ win over the Knicks, with the entire bench mob pulling in 28% of the total vote. But one guy separated himself from the pack, and that was Jordan Goodwin. His 3-of-4 shooting from beyond the arc, paired with the defensive pressure he brought as part of that second unit, helped steady the game when it started to wobble. That impact did not go unnoticed, and it earned him his third Bright Side Baller of the season. Bright Side Baller Nominees Game 43 against the Nets.
