Getty Images Oops. Just 16 months after the Indianapolis Colts traded a first-round pick to the Cleveland Browns for running back Trent Richardson, the deal has hit a new low.

Richardson is inactive Sunday , and will not play in the Colts' playoff game against the Broncos.

This comes one week after being demoted to third string on the depth chart and not receiving any carries in the Colts' wild-card playoff win over the Cincinnati Bengals. This week, Richardson practiced with the Colts' punt team, according to Conor Orr of NFL.com.

It was already clear that the Browns won this trade even though they were criticized for the move when it happened, trading away a number-three overall pick after just 17 games in the NFL.

But even then, Richardson was still a part of the Colts' offense, receiving at least 17 carries and catches in five of the first seven games this season. However, in the final five games of the regular season, Richardson averaged just 6.4 carries per game and had just six catches in the final seven games.

Then came the first round of the playoffs. Richardson was demoted and was on the field for just one offensive snap.

Now, he's not even on the active roster.
