The Indianapolis Colts have granted quarterback Anthony Richardson permission to seek a trade, a move that comes as a surprise to many. Despite general manager Chris Ballard's public reluctance to write off Richardson, the team has decided to allow him to pursue a fresh start elsewhere. This decision was made after Richardson and his representation met with the Colts on Thursday morning, expressing their desire for a trade. The Colts' stance on Richardson has been a topic of discussion, especially with Ballard's public support for the quarterback. This development raises questions about the team's long-term plans and the future of the quarterback position in Indianapolis.
