Anthony Richardson floated as trade possibility for NFC playoff contender

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson, the former No. 4 overall pick, has been floated as a potential trade target for an NFC playoff contender as the 2026 NFL calendar builds toward the November trade deadline. Richardson and the Colts agreed in February to explore a deal, but he remains in Indy for now. The team is likely to hold him as starter Daniel Jones recovers from a serious season-ending injury, with expectations that trade talks could resume once Jones is healthy. Bleacher Report’s Kristopher Knox suggested the Minnesota Vikings as a fit, particularly if they consider moving J.J. McCarthy.
