AFC Notes: Nick Caley, Anthony Richardson, Colts, Jaguars, Texans

Colts Colts GM Chris Ballard said the team will be adding competition for QB Anthony Richardson this offseason.

We cant beat our head against the wall, Ballard said, via ESPNs Stephen Holder .

Weve got to have competition at the position just for the fact that, one, competition makes everybody better.

And then, two, [Richardson] has not proven he can play 17 games.

Ballard added that the team is not ready to give up on Richardson and emphasized exercising patience when developing young quarterbacks.

We have zero patience as a league with quarterbacks, Ballard said.

Youre seeing it throughout the league where guys fail one place and, now, all of a sudden theyre doing really well somewhere else.

Every quarterbacks journey and developmental cycle is different, and I wish I had a magic wand that could wave and get them to the top of the peak right away.

But thats not realistic.

Jaguars According to Jeremy Fowler, Jaguars assistant GM Ethan Waugh is a strong in-house candidate for Jacksonvilles general manager job.

Fowler also reports Packers Vice President of Player Personnel Jon-Eric Sullivan is another candidate in the mix.

Jaguars G Brandon Scherff s contract voids on February 17, per OverTheCap.

Texans The Texans moved on from former OC Bobby Slowik after two seasons in favor of former Rams TE coach Nick Caley, who was rising the ranks fast under Sean McVay.

Houston HC DeMeco Ryans said they made the move to get them over the hump to reach new heights.

Weve had a lot of good success these first two years, Ryans said, via ESPNs DJ Bien-Aime .

The reason were doing this is I think theres another level that we can go to.

And as I said earlier, my job is to take this organization to new heights, and I think hiring Nick will help us to get there.

Caley had good things to say about QB C.J.

Stroud , praising his accuracy, decision-making and competitiveness.

He can spin it.

He throws the ball, Caley said.

Hes an accurate thrower of the football.

He is a natural thrower of the football.

Hes instinctive.

Hes got the it factor.

And hes a warrior in terms of his competitiveness.

Ive admired him dating back to his college days.

So, Im really, really excited to have an opportunity to work with him.
