Colts Weigh Trade Requests From Anthony Richardson and Kenny Moore II as Draft Week Opens

Ballard says he will act only for fair value as the market takes shape this week.

Overview

  • GM Chris Ballard confirmed Monday that quarterback Anthony Richardson and cornerback Kenny Moore II requested trades and skipped the first voluntary workout.
  • Ballard said he has fielded calls on Richardson, who is training in Jacksonville and cleared for activity, but no deal is close as teams weigh concerns about his post‑injury vision.
  • The team must decide by May 1 on Richardson’s fully guaranteed fifth‑year option for 2027, a contract wrinkle Ballard said they have not discussed.
  • Ballard said Moore is “ready for a change” and could be given some latitude, with a pre–June 1 trade saving about $7.06 million on the cap and leaving roughly $6.05 million in dead money.
  • Daniel Jones is throwing and moving well in his Achilles rehab, which the Colts believe gives them flexibility to wait for fair value while working the phones as the draft begins Thursday.
