Tanner McKee - English
The Indianapolis Colts are facing a dilemma at quarterback. Anthony Richardson has yet to meet expectations, leaving the team unsure of his future, while newly acquired Daniel Jones is set to be the starter. Speculation is growing that Richardson could be traded before the season begins, opening the door for potential moves in the quarterback market.
Although the Colts haven’t secured any victories during the preseason, Daniel Jones has delivered solid performances, earning positive reviews for his play. This has intensified speculation over Anthony Richardson’s future, making it one of the biggest storylines heading into the regular season.

Potential quarterback trade on the horizon for the Indianapolis Colts
The Indianapolis Colts are aiming for a stronger season than last year, seeking more memorable victories and a top spot in the AFC South. To achieve this, they need a roster built to compete at a high level, with key players ready to lead the charge.
However, recent games and team reports indicate that Anthony Richardson has fallen behind Daniel Jones in the pecking order, casting doubt on his future with the Colts. Bleacher Report has even suggested a possible trade to secure a reliable backup quarterback.
The report indicates that the Colts have set their sights on Tanner McKee, the backup quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles. “If Philadelphia wants to remain on top, it will need to continue to load up on picks,” Bleacher Report noted.
“The team added to its arsenal by trading backup quarterback Kenny Pickett at the start of the offseason and could land 2026 draft selections by again sending off one of Jalen Hurts’ understudies,” the report added.
Tanner McKee, a former Super Bowl champion, has demonstrated his talent with the Eagles, though he has often played in the shadow of Jalen Hurts. In his two appearances in 2024, McKee completed 30 of 45 passes for 323 yards and four touchdowns, showcasing his potential as a reliable backup.
Tanner McKee: A chance to prove his NFL potential
It’s clear that there’s no debate over the starting quarterback role in Philadelphia, as Jalen Hurts has firmly established himself as the team’s leader, guiding the Eagles to the last Super Bowl and anchoring their offense.
This move could benefit both the Eagles and McKee. Philadelphia gains peace of mind at quarterback, while McKee, still young but talented, would join the Colts to challenge Daniel Jones for the starting role, setting up a competitive battle for leadership of the offense.
Currently, the Colts’ quarterback situation remains uncertain, a position that has been in flux in recent years. With Anthony Richardson’s future in doubt, several names are emerging, but Tanner McKee appears to be the frontrunner, potentially giving the team a stronger battle at QB and even competing for the starting role against Daniel Jones.

2025 NFL practice squad tracker: Full list of team-by-team moves, signings for all 32 clubs after cut deadline
NFL teams trimmed their respective rosters from 90 players down to the 53-man active limit on Tuesday. In the wake of those moves, several players involved in those roster cuts will return or sign with practice squads elsewhere. Each team is allowed to construct a 17-player practice squad, including 10 first- or second-year players, up to six veterans with extensive NFL experience, and one spot allocated for the International Pathway Program. These units are fluid and can change on a daily basis. Each week during the regular season, teams have the opportunity to elevate up to two practice squad players, but players may not be elevated more than three separate weeks during the season without being elevated to the 53-man roster. Players have freedom of choice beyond waivers. For example, Broncos quarterback Sam Ehlinger is reportedly electing to return to Denver's practice squad […]
2025 NFL waiver claims tracker: Titans claim four players, including Jalyn Armour-Davis from Ravens
Getty NFL roster cutdown day took place on Tuesday as all 32 NFL clubs trimmed their rosters to 53 players. Following these cuts are waiver claims, with more than 1,100 players looking for new NFL homes. Any NFL player that is cut but not vested -- that is, having fewer than four years of experience -- goes through the waiver wire, where any of the other 31 NFL teams have the chance to claim them. If a player passes through waivers unclaimed, they are free to sign with a team's practice squad.This year, the Tennessee Titans held the No. 1 waiver claim, and new general manager Mike Borgonzi had the right to claim as many players as he wanted. Tennessee ended up claiming four.Keep in mind, if a team claims another player after already having 53 players on their active roster, they […]
