Paul Richardson News
The Seattle Seahawks released wide receiver Paul Richardson on Saturday, according to a source. Richardson was just signed six days ago. He spent the first four seasons of his career in Seattle before playing the last two years in D.C., where he battled injuries and was largely a disappointment. Seattle had decent receiver depth at the position with Tyler Lockett, D.K. Metcalf, David Moore and Phillip Dorsett II as their top four wideouts, and they'll also be getting Josh Gordon later in the season. The 28-year-old had 28 catches for 245 yards and two touchdowns in 10 games (six starts) in his final season in Washington last year.
A pair of former Seattle Seahawks wide receivers are reportedly on the team's radar in 2020. One of them, Paul Richardson, was brought in for a tryout on Wednesday and could be a useful depth piece for Seattle, especially with concerns about Phillip Dorsett's foot. The other receiver is Josh Gordon, who is still awaiting a decision on his NFL reinstatement, but Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times says that there remains speculation that Seattle might want to bring him back. Neither player moves the needle for fantasy managers, though Gordon's talent obviously makes him worth a late-round pick if he does wind up back in the NFL and back in Seattle.
The Washington Redskins released wide receiver Paul Richardson and cornerback Josh Norman on Friday. Richardson, 27, was due to make $6.5 million this year, but he caught just 48 passes in 17 games in his two seasons and made almost $17 million in that span. Norman, 32, played just 53 percent of the defensive snaps last season and fell down the depth chart late in the year for his poor play. He was scheduled to make $12 million in 2020. Norman didn't make one Pro Bowl in his four seasons in D.C. and had seven interceptions. Richardson could latch on elsewhere as a deep threat and bounce back, but he will need to stay healthy.
