The NFL isn’t exactly known for playing nice when it comes to job security. Just ask Anthony Richardson, who’s probably sweating bullets right now in Indianapolis. When the Colts dropped some serious cash to bring in Daniel Jones during free agency, it wasn’t exactly rocket science to figure out what was going down. And now, with Head Coach Shane Steichen dropping hints like breadcrumbs about the QB situation, the writing’s on the wall clearer than a Texas summer sky. Y’all might be thinking, ‘Didn’t they just draft Richardson to be their guy?’ Well, welcome to the NFL, where yesterday’s golden boy can become today’s backup faster than you can say ‘quarterback controversy.’
This Monday, James Boyd dropped a post on his X handle saying, “#Colts HC Shane Steichen says QBs Anthony Richardson and Daniel Jones will split reps this offseason, starting in OTAs. He said he doesn’t have a timeline on when they’ll make a decision on who’s QB1. (We’ll know by Week 1. )” There’s been a ton of buzz about how the Colts really need to see Richardson shine this offseason. This indicates they’re still backing him behind the scenes. But honestly, Steichen’s comments are raising some red flags for Richardson fans.
