Adding another quarterback could push Richardson to improve, but it also could be counterproductive for the 2023 first-rounder.

The Indianapolis Colts are reportedly exploring the addition of a veteran quarterback to foster competition with Anthony Richardson for the starting role in the 2025 season. General Manager Chris Ballard has emphasized the importance of creating a competitive environment to enhance team performance and Richardson's development.

Ballard wants to bring in a QB to "create real competition ... (someone) who can really challenge from a production standpoint, too.”
