NFL Trade Rumors
Colts owner Carlie Irsay-Gordon reassured the media that the team still has faith in former fourth overall pick QB Anthony Richardson, even though he currently has no timetable for a return.
“We drafted Anthony for a reason, and we believe in him,” Irsay-Gordon told reporters on Tuesday, via Pro Football Talk. “He’s incredibly talented, and sometimes when you draft players, they have rough starts, they have injuries, they’ve got those things that they need to go through. But I think it’s way too early to tell. I think he’s — he has all the potential in the world, and if he wants to prove it, he can. And he will, if he wants to.”
Former first-overall pick DE Travon Walker is heading into year four with Jacksonville after back-to-back double-digit sack seasons. New Jaguars HC Liam Coen has been impressed with Walker’s leadership on the field and in the meeting rooms.

Titans HC Brian Callahan raved about DL T’Vondre Sweat and said that he has a unique ability to get after the quarterback at his size.
“He’s a supremely talented person,” Callahan said, via the team’s website. “*There’s not a lot of people on the planet that can do what he does at his size. And it’s more about the consistency of performance. I’d like to see more from the pass rush game. He’s got ability to rush for a man his size and that’s a point of emphasis for him is affecting the quarterback more. He’s a tremendous run defender, that was a strength of his already from last year. Part of it’s going to be just improving the detail and then improving the ability to help affect the quarterback. So I think those are the things we’re looking for progression wise from him. And he has the...
