Colts' New Era: Jones, Richardson in QB Battle

The Indianapolis Colts are now led by Jim Irsay’s daughters, marking a new era of ownership as the team prepares for the 2025 season. A quarterback competition is underway between Daniel Jones, signed to a one-year deal in March, and Anthony Richardson, whose future with the franchise is uncertain due to injury and inconsistent performance. Jones has impressed coaches and teammates with his quick adaptation to the offense and leadership during Richardson's recovery from a shoulder injury, earning first-team reps in OTAs and minicamp. Head coach Shane Steichen has praised Jones' professionalism and rapport with the receiving corps. The Colts’ ownership transition and open quarterback race are central storylines entering training camp. Analysts note that Jones' continued strong performance could significantly impact the team's direction in the coming months.
