While former Giants quarterback Daniel Jones is continuing his career as the starter with the Indianapolis Colts, the QB he replaced, Anthony Richardson, faces an uncertain future with the team that drafted him fourth overall in 2023.

With the NFL regular season set to begin this week, Richardson’s agent, Deiric Jackson, met with Colts general manager Chris Ballard recently and, according to ESPN, the topic of a trade was not “requested” but was “broached.”

In the meantime, Richardson — still just 23 — will begin the season backing up Jones, and the Colts have said Jones is expected to be the starter for the entire season.

“Man, you can’t let [anybody] come in your house and eat your food without permission,” Richardson told The Athletic of losing his job to Jones. “That’s just the way I think about it. They brought him in to come do a job and take a job… Ultimately, it’s like, ‘Yeah, I can’t let anybody come in here and take over what I’ve got going on.’ But then again, I can’t think about that.”

It will be hard not to, as Richardson watches the 28-year-old Jones, who the Giants picked sixth overall in 2019, take over.

But if anyone knows the ups and downs of being a quarterback in the NFL, it’s Jones, whose time with the Giants ended in November after he asked to be released when he lost his starting job to Tommy DeVito.

Jones ended up with the Minnesota Vikings, but didn’t appear in a game before he signed a one-year, $14 million deal with Indianapolis in the offseason.

With Jones having started more than 11 games just once since 2020, Richardson figures to get another shot with the Colts, barring a trade.

He appeared in just 24 games as a college player at Florida before being handed the starting job with the Colts, but injuries and poor play helped land him on the bench.

Richardson’s work to get his old job back has begun, he told The Athletic.

“It’s everything you could think of,” Richardson said. “Extra film, like even if you’re watching film with other quarterbacks or in the QB room with the coach, that’s not enough. Doing more of that, talking to coach [Shane Steichen] more, understanding the offense more, being around the guys more. … Everything that you can control, that’s pretty much what I needed to improve on.”

And when he does, Richardson believes he’ll be back.

“I just gotta get better and improve in [every] aspect,” Richardson said. “So them [naming me starting QB] will be easy.”
