Anthony Richardson’s agent needles Colts over QB1 decision, questions ‘trust’
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson will be the backup for Daniel Jones to start the 2025 season, the team announced on Tuesday.
Richardson was the No. 4 overall pick of the 2023 draft but has struggled with injuries and consistent play, which forced the Colts’ hand just a few weeks before the official start of the regular season. Indianapolis will play the Miami Dolphins on Sept. 7.

Deiric Jackson, the quarterback’s agent, responded to the Colts’ decision in a statement to ESPN. He suggested that some of the decision-making by Colts head coach Shane Steichen when it came to his client put the player in a bad position and may have damaged the organization’s credibility.
“Trust is a big factor and that is, at best, questionable right now,” Jackson told the network. “Anthony came back and made the improvements in the areas he needed to improve. And by all accounts, he had a great camp.”

He added that when the team needed a big play in 2024, the ball was put into Richardson’s hands. Despite being benched for two games, he had 1,814 passing yards, eight touchdown passes and was 6-5 in the 11 games he started for the team.
Regardless, Steichen chose the former New York Giants player instead of Richardson.
The ex-Florida Gators standout said there were no hard feelings toward the third-year head coach over the decision.

“I guess you could say (I was) somewhat surprised, but at the end of the day we all knew somebody was going to have to be on this end of the stick and, you know, it was me,” Richardson said. “I feel like I did improve. My improvement was there, but there are still ways I can improve, still ways I can become a better player, become a starter in the league.”

Former England cricketer Moeen Ali has announced his return to the Pakistan Super League (PSL), saying he was excited to be part of the league’s “new era”.
After the 10th edition of the PSL earlier this year, the league is set for an expansion to eight teams, with the addition of two new franchises.
Meanwhile, Moeen, who has previously featured in the marquee league when he represented former champions Multan Sultans in the 2020 and 2021 editions, expressed his eagerness to rejoin the league.
Moeen stated that the PSL, since its advent in 2016, has “earned a reputation for top-level T20 cricket”, featuring close competition and talented players.
“I’m really excited to be joining HBL PSL in its New Era. The league has earned a reputation for top-level T20 cricket, with high-quality competition and world-class talent across every team,” Moeen wrote on Instagram.
The 38-year-old, who represented England in 68 Tests, 138 ODIs and 92 T20Is during his illustrious career, was also a part of the Three Lions squad that made its historic tour of Pakistan in 2022 to play a three-match Test series. Besides that, Moeen has made several visits to the country.
Reflecting on his previous experiences in Pakistan, Moeen said that he enjoyed playing in the country and specifically praised the enthusiastic crowd, which he said pushes players to give their best on the field.
“Playing in Pakistan is always incredible; quality of cricket is outstanding and the passion and intensity from the crowd push you to bring your best,” he continued.
“I’m looking forward to being part of it all and creating some great memories along the way. Ready for another special experience Insha’Allah!”
His announcement comes just days after former South African captain Faf du Plessis pulled out of the Indian Premier League (IPL) to play in the upcoming PSL season.
In a post on Instagram on November 29, the renowned cricketer said that he would not put his name in the IPL auction this year.
“It’s a big decision, and one that comes with a lot of gratitude when I look back,” he wrote in his post.
The receiver has been plagued by injuries, but Sunday night against the Broncos, he gave Washington something to talk about other than a seventh straight loss.
