Rapoport: Real Questions About How Well Anthony Richardson Can See

According to Ian Rapoport, it seems likely that Colts QB Anthony Richardson has likely played his last down of quarterback in Indianapolis. 

Rapoport says the next question for Richardson when he lands with a new team, either via a trade or if he’s cut, is how well Richardson can see. 

He notes Richardson has been cleared after injuring his eye last year in a freak training accident when a resistance band snapped, sending equipment into his face and fracturing his orbital bone. But Rapoport says there are real questions about how well Richardson can see the rush and receivers when he’s playing. 

The Colts claim they’re fine keeping three quarterbacks on the final roster and don’t want to give Richardson away, although they’ve been working with him to grant his trade request this offseason. 

Richardson, 24, declared for the draft following his redshirt sophomore season in 2022 and his first as a full-time starter at Florida. The Colts selected him with the No. 4 overall pick of the 2023 NFL Draft. 

He signed a four-year, $36,874,031 contract with a $23,817,477 signing bonus and is now set to become an unrestricted free agent in 2027.

Richardson underwent season-ending shoulder surgery to repair his AC joint after going down in Week 5 of his rookie year. He then missed significant time in 2025 due to an eye injury.

In 2025, Richardson appeared in two games and completed one of his two pass attempts for nine yards.
