Zack Rosenblatt with The Athletic recently predicted Darnold to land with the Colts in his complete list of quarterback predictions for every NFL team. Darnold, who will turn 28 in June, is expected to haul in a contract worth up to $40 million after an outstanding 2024 season.

One of the most fascinating and polarizing quarterbacks in the NFL over the past few years has been Indianapolis Colts passer Anthony Richardson. After stunning scouts with his athleticism and arm strength at the NFL combine, Richardson became the No. 4 overall pick in the 2023 NFL draft despite having played in just 24 games at the college level.

The Indianapolis Colts are in an unpredictable space this offseason. They had a solid season and were in the playoff hunt until the end of the season. But their potential franchise quarterback is one of the rawest prospects in NFL history and the results match that standing.

With general manager Chris Ballard under pressure and Anthony Richardson in a prove-it year, 2025 is a huge year for the Indianapolis Colts. The 2025 NFL Draft presents an opportunity for new offensive weapons to be added and defensive difference-makers to be found.
