Hawks taking a look at Paul Richardson (Signed)

[olyfan63]

Definitely has the chemistry with Russell Wilson. Glad it was Washington who gave him the big payday, not us. Good to have him back. Kind of an X factor type of player in games where the other team has the players and scheme to take away our top receiving weapons.

 

[Teahawks]

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!

Same. Gordon's off the field risk is equal to PRich's injury risk in my opinion. Gordon has the higher ceiling to me. We've seen both make tough and clutch catches. I'd say sign both, but WR only has so many reps to go around.

Agreed. This may sound like nonsense but, I truly believe Gordon could've had a Hall of Fame career without the addiction problems.

The real uncertainty lies in Gordon's reinstatement. You can't say for sure as the Hawks are going to consider all available players but, if Gordon were back right now...I doubt we'd be looking at PRich.

With that said...a healthy PRich isn't a bad pickup at all.

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.

Agreed on all posts comments above. This is definitely a better group than we have had in the past. There will be no reason to not be creative on offense now.

As much as I like P Rich, the injury history has gotten worse. He is here because of another season ending injury. I don't see counting on him much personally. But I do like him and wish it wasn't so.

He's been injury plagued since 2014 .

Not nonsense at all. He put together one of the most impressive seasons of all-time in Cleveland with complete scrubs tossing to him.

I find your comment interesting oly.
Would like to hear what teams you think have the personnel to shut down Lockett and DK, without even considering our other considerable receiving threats.

 

[jammerhawk]

Richardson is a good WR when he is healthy, unfortunately that isn't very often.

Between Richardson and Gordon I'd choose Gordon if he was available b/c of his higher ceiling. Both have availability issues. Between Richardson and Britt I'd choose Britt but Britt would need to be available in the 2nd half of the season. In short it's good to have a look at Richardson but there are others I'd choose ahead of him.

Richardson > Ursua and Swain. Bet both could be stashed on the PS and called up when PRich gets injured.

The PS part of that is even more true under the current rules revisions under covid.

 

[Teahawks]

I'd have to imagine David Moore gets cut after this. His salary is expendable at that rate to be a WR4.

 

[chris98251]

The new rules make stacking your team in depth much easier, why I don't think we cut any RB's and we also will sign Britt back as well, P Rich will be here and we will sign Gordon when we can. the IR allows us to bring more guys back now also. PS can stash Vets and the wait period to activate is shorter.

 

[Rat]

I like this signing. His stats don’t jump off the page for a second round pick, but it felt like something good happened every time he was thrown the ball.

 

[toffee]

He is back! Guessing Gordon may not or our youngster didn't wow Pete and John enough? But welcome home Paul Richardson!

Such a talented receiver but just can’t stay healthy. Watching his highlights ever catch he hits the ground so awkwardly like he never braces for the ground

 

[Appyhawk]

Sounds as though the Niners may be willing to take the chance Gordon will be reinstated and poach him from our interest. I'd be SO bummed to see that happen, and then see him get quickly reinstated. Niners are scrambling to put together a WR roster that can be effective following a dirth of injuries to that position group on their team.
