Paul Richardson A Candidate For Release
5 years agoIf Washington Redskins wide receiver Paul Richardson is on the roster on the fifth day of the new league year, then $2 million of his $6 million 2020 base salary becomes guaranteed. Richardson would count $8 million against the salary cap instead of $6 million if he's cut after that date. One source familiar with new head coach Ron Rivera's plans said the coach wants to add another starting receiver opposite Terry McLaurin. If that's the case, Richardson is likely to be the odd man out. He can be a big-play threat down the field, but Richardson has missed 15 games in two years in D.C. and has played in 10 games or fewer three times in six NFL seasons. P-Rich is a boom-or-bust fantasy commodity when healthy, and when you add the injuries on top of it, he becomes one to avoid in standard-sized leagues.
