Two Indianapolis Colts rank among the most likely NFL veterans to still be traded this year.

The Indianapolis Colts walked into the 2026 NFL Draft with a lengthy to-do list, but two of the biggest items remain unchecked. Two of the team's most notable veterans—quarterback Anthony Richardson Sr. and cornerback Kenny Moore II—are officially on the trade block after requesting moves this offseason. Yet the draft came and went without either player being dealt, leaving their futures in limbo.

Colts general manager Chris Ballard addressed the situations for both players ahead of the draft, drawing a clear distinction between the two. "They're different in my mind, because Kenny, in his mind, it's time for—it's kind of time for a change. Anthony is a little different," Ballard said. "I still think Anthony has real value in this league, and I've been happy with his growth. He's an extremely talented young man. So, I think it's a different—those are case by case and those are two different cases."

Ballard indicated he would give Moore "some latitude" to explore his options if a trade didn't materialize, but later added, "I'm not at that point right now," when asked whether the team would outright release either player if no deal comes through. After the draft, Ballard confirmed that nothing had surfaced for either Richardson or Moore. "Nothing yet, no. Nothing yet," he said.

With their futures hanging in the balance, both players landed on Bleacher Report's Kristopher Knox's trade block big board—a list of the most likely NFL veterans to still be moved this year. For Richardson, the projected trade value is a conditional 2027 fifth-round pick, with potential suitors including the Arizona Cardinals and New York Jets.

"While Richardson hasn't played up to his draft status in his three seasons, he's only 23 years old and possesses an ideal blend of size (6'4", 244 lbs), athleticism, and arm talent," Knox wrote. "Given the recent resurgence of quarterbacks like Jones, Sam Darnold, and Baker Mayfield, a team should be willing to take a flier on Richardson. Specifically, Richardson should interest teams without a dedicated long-term answer under center."

For fans and fantasy owners alike, these are names to watch as the offseason continues. Whether the Colts ultimately pull the trigger on a trade or hold onto their veterans, the coming weeks should provide clarity on two of the most intriguing storylines in Indianapolis.
