Colts' Anthony Richardson: To face open competition
Share Video
Colts general manager Chris Ballard said Tuesday at the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine that Richardson (back) will face "an open competition" against whoever the team brings in at quarterback this offseason, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Ballard announced in early January that Richardson wasn't locked in atop the depth chart, but his use of the term "open competition" is a clearer indication that the QB will need to truly earn any starting reps he receives in Year 3. Joe Flacco is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent, but Indianapolis could find another veteran on the open market or select a signal-caller in April's draft. Richardson missed the final two games of the 2024 campaign due to a back injury, but there have been no indications it's still an issue for him.
