Colts owner Carlie Irsay-Gordon emphasized urgency in Anthony Richardson's development as a quarterback, highlighting the importance of competition with Daniel Jones. Both players have faced injuries, with Richardson dealing with shoulder soreness and Jones having a history of turnovers. Irsay-Gordon believes that competition will push Richardson to improve. Jones, released by the Giants, aims for a fresh start in Indianapolis, signing a one-year deal to compete against Richardson as training camp approaches. General manager Chris Ballard confirmed Richardson would enter camp unrestricted after his offseason challenges.
Irsay-Gordon stated, 'He still has time to prove it. ... Bring a sense of urgency. And nothing brings a sense of urgency more than competition.'
Richardson was limited again in the offseason by shoulder soreness, but general manager Chris Ballard said there are no restrictions for the quarterback entering this year's training camp.
Accuracy was another challenge when Richardson, 23, was able to play last season. He had a league-low 47.7 completion percentage.
Jones, 28, played in 10 games last season with the Giants and only six in 2023. He has 73 career turnovers -- 26 lost fumbles, 47 interceptions -- and 85 touchdowns, including 15 rushing scores.
