  "account": "The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are considering trading for Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson, the 2023 No. 4 overall pick. This comes after their own quarterback, Baker Mayfield, suffered a thumb injury and is sidelined for at least three weeks. Sports Illustrated's Gilberto Manzano suggests the Buccaneers emulate the New York Giants' approach, trading for a former top draft pick when their starter gets injured. In the Giants' case, they dealt for former No. 1 overall pick Jaxson Dart after he suffered a season-ending injury. Manzano argues that Anthony Richardson, who lost his starting job to Daniel Jones in 2025, has shown improvement in the preseason and a change of scenery could help him reach his potential. Trading for Richardson would mean potentially upsetting Mayfield, but the Bucs might feel it's worth a shot given their current struggles with backup quarterbacks.",
