P. Richardson to Washington

Apparently a 5 year $40m deal with $20m guaranteed.
Too rich for us, I would think. I wonder if it puts a WR in play for the draft?

Not sure how this is structured but, yeah, he isn't worth a long term deal like that, IMO, and he clearly wasn't a priority with our F.O. anyway.

I'm excited about the purging and bringing in new guys. It had to happen, so might as well do it now with other divisional rivals doing same thing to begin with.

Wow, big money for a #3 WR. I would have liked to have kept him, but not for that kind of scratch.

WR's like Richardson are a dime a dozen. I suspect we'll pick up one in the later rounds of the draft.

No way we would afford that contract. We got 1 good year out of him, guess what?...a CONTRACT year.

Yeah. Not worth signing. I don't get hyped on a guy with one healthy year.

Richardson's problems never been talent, it's health, and gambling that much money on a player that's been healthy two out of last 6 years seems like an enormous gamble, that in all likelyhood blows up in your face.

I don't see us ever matching what he got if accurate.

PFT is reporting the following contract details.

"Richardon’s deal includes a $10 million signing bonus, along with a fully guaranteed base salary of $1.5 million in 2018.

His 2019 base salary of $5 million is guaranteed for injury at the time of signing, and $1 million of that amount is fully guaranteed. The balance becomes fully guaranteed on the fifth day of the 2019 league year.

The 2020 base salary of $5 million includes a $3.5 million injury guarantee at signing, $2 million of which is fully guaranteed.

In 2021 and 2022, Richardson has base salaries of $7.5 million each year. The contract also has per-game roster bonuses of $500,000 each year, along with $150,000 in de-escalators based on participation in the offseason workout program."

Good for him for getting paid, but that's a lot of money for someone with such few results. Part of it was our Offense, but he did drop a lot of balls, too.
