ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler said he gets the “sense” that Anthony Richardson “would be open to joining a premier playcaller such as Sean McVay as a developmental player so he can reset for 2026.”

Richardson’s theoretical reset might take a little longer than that, but this is an intriguing scenario. ESPN’s Dan Graziano chimed in to say that he remembers “a couple of teams wondering whether Indy would be open to moving him during free agency.” Matthew Stafford began the year with worrying back problems, entering his age-37 season. He, of course, now ranks top three in passing yards (1,114) and touchdowns (eight), so there is no immediate need in Los Angeles and Fowler did not actually say that the Rams are interested in Richardson. Bringing aboard a high-upside prospect simply makes sense for teams possessing this type of player and coaching staff infrastructure. Stay tuned.
