A to Z Sports on MSNNew 2026 NFL mock draft has the Colts offically moving on from Anthony Richardson by selecting a new QB to lead the franchise
The Indianapolis Colts made a polarizing decision this week when they announced Daniel Jones will start over Anthony Richardson at QB. Richardson's future with the team now looks very murky, and all signs point towards the Colts being back in the market for a QB in an upcoming NFL Draft.
The Indianapolis Colts made their decision and chose Daniel Jones as the starting quarterback on the team, leaving Anthony Richardson 's future in question. It was known that there would be a quarterback competition during training camp, and Jones showed enough that head coach Shane Steichen was confident in making his choice.
Given Richardson's injury history plus general concerns about his development stagnating because of the turbulent start to his NFL career, Indianapolis signed former New York Giants first-round pick Daniel Jones to a one-year, $14 million contract to push Richardson and compete for the starting quarterback job.
Anthony Richardson completed six of his first eight passes, leading the Indianapolis Colts to a touchdown on his first series before the Green Bay Packers rallied late for a 23-19 victory in the preseason.
