ESPN proposed that the Green Bay Packers acquire Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson in exchange for a fifth-round pick in the 2027 NFL Draft. 4 million in 2026 guarantees under the suggested terms. ESPN stated that Richardson has requested a trade and that the Colts have indicated they may accept a fifth-round selection.
385 million in 2026 salary obligations. 145 million. 5 million contract. Richardson has appeared in 17 games for the Colts, recording 2,400 passing yards and 11 passing touchdowns along with 634 rushing yards and 10 rushing touchdowns.
ESPN noted that Richardson has expressed interest in playing in a McVay-Shanahan-LaFleur offensive system. The Colts have not completed a trade for Richardson since his request earlier in the offseason. A future in Indianapolis seems doubtful after a messy three seasons filled with injuries, benchings and wavering by the Colts, ESPN said.
