The Indianapolis Colts might not say it publicly, but their experiment with quarterback Anthony Richardson has reached its conclusion. By naming Daniel Jones as the Week 1 starter over Richardson, the Colts have essentially admitted that the fourth overall pick in the 2023 draft simply doesn't have a future in Indianapolis.

With the Giants, Jones had been lauded for his professionalism and work ethic, which eventually paid off in him leading the franchise to their first playoff victory since Super Bowl XLVI. When speaking of Jones, Turner lauded the Colts starting quarterback's decision-making and how he's been consistent in knowing how to execute the team's offense.

The Colts' third-string quarterback is rookie sixth-round pick Riley Leonard; with Jones missing time in four of his six seasons due to injury, they need a legitimate backup quarterback. Don't expect the Colts to release Richardson.
