The Baltimore Ravens' quarterback situation is a fascinating one, given that Lamar Jackson has yet to get his desired long-term deal.
Behind Lamar is one of the better backups in Tyler Huntley. So, Jesse Minter's options are really good.
But could the Ravens look to add another body to the room?
Depending on who it is, absolutely, and for CBS Sports' Bryan DeArdo, he's oddly named Anthony Richardson as a potential option.
"As far as potential landing spots, Richardson would be a good fit on a team that either has a young starting quarterback or one that has a similar skillset," DeArdo wrote. "Two teams that come to mind are the Dolphins (who have Malik Willis at QB1) and Ravens."

Richardson a legitimate option for Ravens?
For me, no. The Ravens aren't going to give up draft capital for a player that they know the Indianapolis Colts don't necessarily want.
Nor are they going to do it for a player who will likely be third string, either. But then again, the NFL is unpredictable, so who knows.
Richardson needs a change of scenery, and it's unclear whether the Colts will try to force through a trade or simply release him, although a cut would cost the franchise $10 million in cap space and save no money, per Over The Cap.
While a trade either before or after June 1 would only save the franchise a little over $5 million, and see them eat the same in dead money. So, it is neither here nor there.
Would Baltimore take a flier on Richardson? I don't see it.
