Paul Richardson is the latest cap casualty for the Seattle Seahawks. Seattle certainly would have liked to keep him, but believed they wouldn’t be able to afford his asking price.
As it turns out, the Seahawks were absolutely right. They were not about to spend what it took to get him. The Redskins signed Paul Richardson to five years for 40 million total. $20 million of that is guaranteed.
Let me be clear here. I like Paul Richardson. I like his skill set, which is mainly crazy speed and even crazier hops. He has holes in his game, to be sure, but overall, he’s a fine player.
