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…

Indianapolis, IN — The Indianapolis Colts have at times been starving for adequate cornerback play throughout the 2020s decade. With constant turnover at the position, and especially at boundary corner, only longtime Colt Kenny Moore II has remained a consistent, productive piece to said puzzle — and the Colts may have drafted his successor in Justin Walley with the 80th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. This is the third installment of an ongoing article series that’ll cover each Colts rookie from the 2025-26 season. Expectations — Immediately following the draft selection in question, fans and analysts alike initially scoffed at the apparent value of said pick, myself included. Although Justin Walley was regarded as the consensus 194th overall prospect in the class, renowned draft analyst Daniel Jeremiah, for example, had Walley as his 94th best player, exactly 100 spots higher than the average. After doing my due diligence by reviewing his college film and observing him up close and personal throughout his first professional training camp, I see the vision at hand. He was never expected to start as a rookie, though his preseason efforts at the very least proved that he belonged, while also suggesting that his time to shine could come sooner rather than later. Rookie Season — Unfortunately for Walley, a torn ACL ended his rookie season before it could get started. A disappointment, no doubt, but it’s even more unfortunate when you consider the additional missed opportunities that arose throughout the season with multiple cornerback casualties. Future Outlook — As alluded to, Justin Walley’s 5’10”, 190 lb frame certainly pencils him in as an NFL slot cornerback, though he provides some versatility to play out wide. Comparing his game to Kenny Moore II isn’t even lazy, either, given he, too, offers such flexibility. Walley was fresh off a broken wrist when he was drafted, though he famously participated in every possible workout in the pre-draft process, so immediately following that up with a torn ACL before kicking off your rookie season in the NFL is grounds for injury concern moving forward. It could’ve merely been a blip in his journey, but that aspect is off to a cold start. With Charvarius Ward’s future up in the air, there’s a good chance Justin Walley at least enters the cornerback rotation as soon as next season.

The Arizona Cardinals have missed out on second interviews for two coaches now, as both Robert Saleh and Jeff Hafley have agreed to deals with the Titans and Dolphins respectively instead of coming to Arizona for that second interview. Tennessee Titans hire Robert Saleh as new head coach Packers DC Jeff Hafley new Dolphins head coach So when two doors close, another one opens, as the Arizona Cardinals have requested to interview Buffalo Bills offensive coordinator Joe Brady. Per multiple reports, Buffalo Bills OC Joe Brady is interviewing with the Arizona Cardinals for their vacant head coach opening.How would you feel about this potential hire? pic.twitter.com/SnmzYvkqKu— PHNX Cardinals (@PHNX_Cardinals) January 20, 2026 Brady is a 36-year old offensive coordinator who has been an OC for five seasons and in the NFL for six seasons. He was the passing game coordinator for the greatest college football offense of all-time, the 2019 LSU Tigers, before parlaying that into the Carolina Panthers offensive coordinator position. Things didn’t workout well for Brady in his first stint as an OC, as his offenses regressed, moving from 21st in yards and 24th in points in 2020 to 30th in yards and 29th in points in 2021 before he was let go. He moved over to Buffalo to be the quarterback coach in 2022, and then moved into the OC role in 2023 producing the following offenses: 2023 – 4th in yards, 6th in points2024 – 10th in yards, 2nd in points2025 – 4th in yards, 4th in points The obvious problem is he will not have Josh Allen in Arizona, and his work without Josh Allen has been bad, and that is putting it mildly. However, he is young and his rushing offense is dynamic, so he brings that with him no matter who his quarterback is. What would you think of Brady?
