Multiple teams inquired about the availability of Colts second-year quarterback Anthony Richardson ahead of the NFL trade deadline, but the team maintained that Richardson was off-limits, a source told ESPN.

One week after coach Shane Steichen benched the 2023 No. 4 pick in favor of 39-year-old Joe Flacco, rival NFL teams inquired about potentially trading for Richardson ahead of Tuesday’s trade deadline. Those franchises were all met with the same response, per a league source: “Never.”
