About this episode

Colts Chris Ballard on Anthony Richardson Trade: If the Price Isnt Right, No Deal

In a recent podcast episode, Indianapolis Colts General Manager Chris Ballard discussed the teams decision to explore trade options for quarterback Anthony Richardson. Despite Richardsons potential, Ballard emphasized the need for fair value in any trade, with teams like the Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings being potential suitors. Richardsons injury-plagued career, with only 17 games played in three seasons, has led to a 50.6% completion rate, 11 touchdowns, and 13 interceptions, along with 634 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns. As of March 14th, no trade is imminent, and the Colts are carefully considering cap hits and Richardsons fifth-year option in 2027.

On March 30, the Indianapolis Colts and quarterback Anthony Richardson mutually decided to look for a trade partner. But the team's general manager, Chris Ballard, says there's a real chance no deal happens if the price isn't right. At the NFL League meetings on Monday, Ballard opened up about it. He praised Richardson as a talented young guy who's maturing despite bad injury luck. High draft picks like him face huge pressure right out the gate. Fans and insiders are buzzing. With Richardson's agents pushing hard for the perfect team fit, Ballard wants fair value in return, not just any swap. Meanwhile, teams like the Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings are ones to watch. Richardson's career has been tough so far. In three seasons, he's only played in 17 games because of injuries. His passing games at 50.6% complete, with 11 touchdowns against 13 interceptions, but he adds 6.34, rushing yards and 10 more scores. No trades close as a March 14, and with his rookie deal ending after this year, plus a fifth year option in 2027, the Colts.

Are Wayne Cap hits carefully? Either way, Ballard's betting on upside if he stays.
