CONFIRMED:” HE’S BACK”Indianapolis Colts Anthony Richardson agreement today on a two-year deal with a max value of $98.8M million with the Indianapolis Colts to finish what he started…..See details
As of April 2, 2025, there are no official reports confirming that Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson has signed a new two-year contract valued at $98.8 million. Richardson remains under his initial four-year rookie contract, which he signed in July 2023 after being selected fourth overall in the 2023 NFL Draft. This fully guaranteed deal is worth $33.99 million and includes a $21.72 million signing bonus.
The Colts also hold a fifth-year option for the 2027 season, a standard provision for first-round draft picks.
During the 2024 season, Richardson faced challenges, including injuries and a mid-season benching. He missed six games: two due to an oblique injury, two from being benched, and two because of a back injury. In the games he played, he completed 47.7% of his 264 passing attempts, throwing for 1,814 yards, eight touchdowns, and 12 interceptions. He also contributed significantly on the ground, rushing 86 times for 499 yards and six touchdowns.
Despite these setbacks, Richardson demonstrated growth and resilience. Reports from late December 2024 indicated that the Colts planned to continue with Richardson as their starting quarterback for the 2025 season. The team’s management was reportedly pleased with his response to adversity and his improved preparation and attention to detail.
Given that Richardson is entering the third year of his four-year rookie contract, discussions or agreements regarding extensions or new contracts would typically occur closer to the contract’s expiration or after the completion of the third season. As of now, no such negotiations or agreements have been publicly disclosed.
It’s essential to rely on official announcements from the Indianapolis Colts or trusted sports news outlets for the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding player contracts and team decisions.
