INDIANAPOLIS -- Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson faces an uncertain future with Indianapolis and hasn't rescinded his recent trade request. But he's not letting any of that stand in the way of doing his job, he said Wednesday.
The 2023 No. 4 draft pick, Richardson reported for voluntary offseason workouts earlier this month after initially staying away. Now he's competing for the No. 2 quarterback job with Riley Leonard for as long as he's in Indy, according to coach Shane Steichen.
"I signed a contract," said Richardson, who is entering the final season of his rookie deal. "I was still on this team before the trade stuff. I've got an obligation to this team to come out here and play and perform, be ready to play if they need me. So, I don't think it's weird or awkward."
Asked if he would still prefer to be traded, Richardson wasn't specific.
