Colts' QB Gamble: Jones, Leonard, Fagnano

0:00On April 19th, the Indianapolis Colts are rolling into the 2026-27 NFL season with their quarterback spots still wide open, true. To form under GM Chris Ballard, they've ditched Anthony Richardson, their 2023 fourth overall pick, and gone all in on Daniel Jones as the starter. Jones inked the fresh two-year deal this off season, winning the job after a heated training camp showdown with Richardson last year. At the Scouting Combine, they mutually agreed to trade Richardson, slamming the door on that experiment. Fans and analysts see sixth-round pick Riley Leonard from 2025 as the back-up of the future, but even if Richardson sticks around on his. Rookie Deal, he might slide at their shring. The Jones gamble feels shaky if he doesn't bounce back. Now the Colts are scouting late-round quarterbacks hard, with Yukon's Joe Fagnano, the latest. He just spilled in an interview about their virtual sit-down, joining meetings with North Dakota State's Cole Payton, Illinois's Luke Altmeyer, Texas.

1:00Texts Barred Morton and middle-round guy Garrett Newsmeyer. Fagnano balled out last season with 3450 yards, 28 touchdowns, and only one pick, crediting his line. The Colts might grab him late on day three, or as a free agent to hedge their bets at the position.
