The Indianapolis Colts went all-in on Anthony Richardson in the 2023 NFL draft, using the No. 4 pick on the Florida product whose potential was only matched by his inexperience.

A week into the competition, reports indicate that neither player has created significant separation from the other. Head coach Shane Steichen will not put a timeline on naming a starter, but that’s not stopping NFL insiders from imploring the Colts to start Richardson.

Raimann said last week a gap between his asking price and the Colts’ offers existed; that difference was resolved in a matter of days. In that time, the Chargers signed Rashawn Slater to a $28.5MM APY extension, which may have helped to accelerate negotiations in Indianapolis.

July 29 - The Indianapolis Colts announced a contract extension on Tuesday with left tackle Bernhard Raimann. Terms were not disclosed, but NFL Network reported it was a four-year, $100 million deal with $60 million guaranteed.
