Aaron Rodgers is expected to play only this season with the Steelers, leaving them in need of a quarterback for 2026. And the stable staff led by Mike Tomlin could be a solid shot at Richardson revitalizing his career. Barnwell suggests it'd only take a fourth-round pick in return in a trade for Richardson.

The Colts named Daniel Jones their starter, leaving Anthony Richardson’s future uncertain and sparking Steelers trade speculation for a 3rd round pick.

Injuries limited Richardson to just four games as a rookie in 2023. He played 11 games last season, briefly losing his starting job to veteran Joe Flacco, and finished with a woeful 47.7 completion percentage for eight touchdowns and 12 interceptions.
