Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson (5) throws a pass during a game against the Las Vegas Raiders at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Sunday, Oct. 5, 2025. The Indianapolis Colts defeated the Las Vegas Raiders 40-6.
According to ESPN, the Green Bay Packers have strong interest in Richardson. A move to Green Bay would fill the Packers’ need for a backup behind Jordan Love while also giving Richardson a chance to reset his career.
Packers head coach Matt LaFleur has established a solid track record at quarterback. He helped develop Love and developed Malik Willis into a quarterback who is getting a big salary this year.

Richardson remains an extremely raw talent. He entered the NFL with limited starting experience in college and always viewed it as a long-term development project.

Few coaches are better suited to take on this challenge than LaFleur. After acquiring Willis from the Tennessee Titans, LaFleur helped turn him into a very serviceable option.
Now, he could take on another AFC South quarterback project. Reports have indicated that Richardson is interested in developing behind an established starter.
Can the Packers and Richardson form the partnership the former Florida Gator needs?
