He's a strange cat indeed. I thought he'd just wait till 2 weeks before the season to sign. He's usually high as a kite locked in a room with Moncks at this time.

I was thinking and hoping this was about Anthony Richardson.

Well, he's probably going to get a few starts till Danny Dimes is healthy. 

Anthony Richardson wants a new contract though, go figure

I think Richardson needs a change of scenery.   I'm surprised that no team out there has made an offer to the Colts for him.    Hes not ideal but hes definitely better than at least a handful of QB some teams are rolling out as starters.

I think that's a tough statement to back up, I don't know who Anthony is better than, he hasn't done much at all.

hes barely played.   hes been injured a lot

dont get me wrong, I dont love the guy, but I have to think that if he can stay healthy hes a better starting QB than Malik Willis who is likely starting in miami.

hes the first guy who comes to mind.

Looking through, I also question if Tua can start in Atlanta.  I'm sure they will give him a shot but hes had a lot of concussions now.   Penix is there, but likely still out with ACL.

while Shough has shown signs of being a player, his good games were against the Jets, tennessee, Carolina and Atlanta.  not exactly powerhouse defenses.

I'd probably prefer to take my chances with Shough, but hes far from being a sure thing.

but if a team isnt thrilled with their starting guy and thinks they can Rehab Richardson, the potential upside is certainly there.

If I were the Steelers sitting there with a lame duck Aaron Rodgers, I'd strongly consider trading for him and have him learn from Rodgers in the backup role with the hope that he can go in when Rodgers is ready to hang em up. (which could happen at end of season or in the event of an injury which tends to happen to players at this age)

just saying.... there are likely better places for him to be.

I wouldn't trade for him, wait until the Colts release him, and they will. Don't know how he can be better then any one.

hey but I'm sure the colts would not put much more of an investment into the guy knowing hes likely leaving.    as a player you want to be where you are wanted too.

if the offer is right, I'm sure the colts would dump him.   provided the ask is reasonable.   Nobody is gonna pay a first for the guy.

its questionable if anyone would even pay a 2nd.

after that its likely fair game.    but in a place like Pittsburgh, the coach would do his best to develop the guy knowing that Rodgers likely doesnt have much in the tank.

I think its a win win for both teams.   this is likely his best landing place
