General Manager Chris Ballard confirms current plan to keep all three quarterbacks in competition.
The Indiana Colts are set to retain their trio of quarterbacks for the upcoming season amid ongoing negotiations and competition. On training camp eve, General Manager Chris Ballard confirmed that while Anthony Richardson's trade request still stands, the club intends to keep Daniels Jones, Anthony Richardson, and Riley Leonard on their roster.
Richardson’s earlier offseason trade request has not been resolved yet, but the Colts are appreciative of his ongoing positional competition with Riley Leonard behind Jones. At just $5.385M in cap space if traded this season, Indianapolis may consider a deal that brings significant return value.

Negotiations and Future Prospects
Ballard insinuated it's 'trade posturing,' but believes Richardson still has a bright future in the league. With Colts' rookie contract coming to an end this year, Richardson’s role remains uncertain.
