The Washington Redskins moved on from several players on Friday, including veteran wide receiver Paul Richardson. Because the Denver Broncos need more depth at receiver, Richardson is a player to keep an eye on.
Richardson (6-0, 180 pounds) is a speedy receiver who entered the league as a second-round pick out of Colorado with the Seattle Seahawks in 2014. In 2017, he had a breakout season, catching 44 passes for 703 yards and six touchdowns.
After a career year in Seattle, Richardson signed a five-year, $40 million contract with the Washington Redskins in 2018. He was healthy for just seven games that season, catching 20 passes for 262 yards and two scores.
Richardson was healthy for 10 games with Washington last year, catching 28 passes for 245 yards and two touchdowns. He has been plagued by injuries throughout his career, missing 32 games — the equivalent of two full seasons — over the last six years.
If he is healthy, though, Richardson could give quarterback Drew Lock another weapon on offense. Should Denver pursue the 27-year-old wide receiver? Let us know your thoughts by voting in the poll below!
