Possible reunion in Seattle between the #Seahawks and WR Paul Richardson. Sources say the team's former second-round pick is at the facility today for COVID-19 testing. He'll go through protocol and could sign later this week.

I imagine it would be a very low $ contract, but we all know the guy can make plays. Certainly some interesting Hawks news. A little competition is always a good thing. I always liked P Rich, just couldn't stay healthy, but he is a baller when he's on the field. Just was glad they didn't give him that big $ contract that Washington did. Let him fight it out with the others and see who comes out on top. This team will certainly be releasing some very capable players that will wind up on other teams imo.

yes please

He's an excellent WR and Russell is familiar with him. His only issue was injuries. Seattle took care of him during his tenure here, the Redskins maybe not so much. I think that's why he got injured in Washington and Colorado, but did okay here. Pete and John are very good at watching out for a player's health.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

And he's made some spectacular plays for this team. Just another weapon for Russ, and like you said Russ is familiar and comfortable with him. If he beats out someone else, it just means he still has some juice.

Look at the receiving on this roster suddenly and whom we are bringing in and waiting on Gordon, we have never went this all in on the offense over all. If they don't plan on taking the gloves off with these signals then they have baited me hook line and sinker.

 

[QuahHawk]

I think Richardson is legit competition for Dorsett, and likely a significant upgrade over Moore, Ursua, and Swain. Richardson would be a heck of a 4th or 5th WR.

You can see his stats are pretty similar to Dorsett and we know he was just getting into a good rhythm with Wilson before he bounced for a big payday.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Absolutely, Moore isn't in the same ballpark and we haven't even had a chance to see what Ursua can do...yet.
But Richardson has proving what he can do on the field. This team is a contender, and bringing in another solid WR to build up even more competition? Yes please.

He is one tough dude, especially at his size. And I'm sure we all remember that game against Detroit. He was a BEAST when it counted. Enjoy...…..

Richardson has been a big difference maker for us in the playoffs.

That alone should be a good reason.

If you do nothing else but literally are the difference in a playoff game we otherwise would not have won without you? You are worth it. Because winning in the playoffs is the point of the thing.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

VERY good points. He was ridiculous in that Detroit game. And doing that on the big stage matters a LOT. That catch in the corner of the end zone was one of the best we have ever seen.

Smart move.

An injury to Metcalf and/or Lockett could derail the offense like the injuries to Carson and Penny did late last season.

 

[Appyhawk]

Loved him when he was here, hated to see him go. But he's been gone long enough he's back to having to prove himself again. He's done more than Dorsett ever has, but Dorsett is younger and faster...and Gordon waits in the shadows. Given all that has happened since he left I know that right now there are guys I'd have ahead of him. Still, he's a nice insurance policy to have.

 

[InadvertentSmell]

I'd prefer Josh Gordon. We saw glimpses of how he could impact games for us last year.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Well, we have no idea when Gordon will even be allowed to come back. IF and when he's available, then it's worth worrying about. Can't bring in a guy who hasn't even been cleared to play in the NFL yet. It's up to GODdell. I love Gordon, but until he's cleared it's a non-factor.

 

[QuahHawk]

1. Metcalf
2. Lockett
3. Richardson
4. Dorsett
5. Moore
6. Swain
7. Ursua

If Gordon comes back he becomes #3 and we bump #5 or #6 off the team, or possibly add him as a 6th and bump a player from a different group.

Can you imagine an offense with the top 4 + Gordon? Empty sets would be incredibly difficult to defend, provided the O-line gives just a little time. Which, of course, is the real question for our offense this next year.

Add Dissly & Olsen...Wilson can have career numbers on top of his already HOF career.

 

[Elemas]

I'd take an "issue free" Gordon over a healthy P-Rich. But, a healthy P-Rich could take the #3 spot as it stands.

Glad we're checking him out!

That TD catch by Richardson in the Detroit playoff game was simply amazing

Agreed. That is a lot of added firepower if we are going to run the same bland offense for the first three quarters every game.
