Seahawks, Paul Richardson Agree To Deal

August 29th, 2020 at 2:00pm CST by Sam Robinson

Paul Richardson‘s Seahawks visit indeed produced a contract offer. The former Seahawks second-round pick agreed to rejoin the team on Saturday, Mike Garafolo of NFL.com tweets.

The six-year veteran wide receiver resurfaced on the free agency radar by trekking to Seattle, where he played from 2014-17. The recent Washington cap casualty will attempt to reignite his career in a familiar place.

Richardson enjoyed his best season (44 catches, 703 yards, six touchdown receptions) in his 2017 contract year and parlayed it into a five-year, $40MM deal with Washington. However, injuries plagued the ex-Colorado prospect in the nation’s capital. Washington released him in February, taking on some dead money to do so.

Connected to higher-profile veteran receivers for months now, the Seahawks are adding Richardson to a stable that includes Tyler Lockett, D.K. Metcalf and Phillip Dorsett. The latter, however, is currently sidelined with a foot injury. John Ursua, a 2019 draftee, is dealing with a hamstring injury.

Richardson, 28, probably cannot be considered a lock to make the Seahawks’ roster — given his inconsistent career that includes just one 300-plus-yard season in six tries. The Seahawks have also changed offensive coordinators since his previous run with the team. But if the now-two-time Seahawk is healthy, he will bolster the team’s depth for the time being. The Seahawks have been the team most closely connected to Antonio Brown and Josh Gordon. Those suspended talents will likely remain on the team’s radar, though no resolutions are in sight for either player.

Seahawks Host C Justin Britt

August 26th, 2020 at 3:54pm CST by Sam Robinson

Two former Seahawks were back at the team’s facility Wednesday. Justin Britt joined Paul Richardson in meeting with team brass, per Field Yates of ESPN.com (on Twitter).

The Seahawks used Britt as a starting offensive lineman from 2014-19 but released him shortly after the draft. No team has brought the veteran center in for a visit since. No Britt-Seahawks reunion is imminent, Adam Caplan of Sirius XM Radio tweets.

Britt started 86 games for the Seahawks in his career, including Super Bowl XLIX, but missed eight regular-season games last season. He underwent knee surgery last year. Wednesday’s visit will likely feature a key determination about Britt’s recovery.

Seattle brought in former Pittsburgh part-time starter B.J. Finney to play center this offseason, so it is certainly interesting to see the team reach out to Britt four months after cutting him. However, Britt has been a full-time starter at guard (2015) and tackle (2014). He spent the past four seasons as Seattle’s starting center, earning a contract extension in 2017 for his work in that role. This would be Britt’s age-29 season.

Seahawks Meeting With Paul Richardson

August 26th, 2020 at 2:54pm CST by Sam Robinson

The Seahawks are looking at one of their former draft choices to potentially help out at wide receiver. Paul Richardson is at the team’s facility Wednesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL.com tweets.

A former four-year Seahawks contributor, Richardson may be on track to sign. He is taking a COVID-19 test with the team and could be back with Seattle soon, Garafolo adds. Richardson spent the past two seasons with Washington.

Washington gave Richardson a lucrative deal — five years, $40MM — to join its receiving corps in 2018, but that partnership did not last. The team released the veteran deep threat two seasons into that deal. Richardson, 28, did not eclipse 300 yards in either of his two injury-shortened Washington seasons. Excepting his promising contract-year showing in 2017 (703 receiving yards, six TDs), Richardson has never exceeded 300 yards in a season.

Richardson was Seattle’s top pick in the 2014 draft, being selected 45th overall out of Colorado. He mostly served as a depth cog with the Seahawks, but they used him as a starter in 13 games during his breakout 2017 slate.

Seattle added a depth piece already this offseason, signing former first-round pick Phillip Dorsett. However, the former Colts and Patriots target is currently dealing with a foot injury. The team has also been the primary suitor connected to Antonio Brown, but the mercurial superstar is set to serve an eight-game suspension.

Seahawks' First 3 Home Games To Be Fanless

August 25th, 2020 at 2:15pm CST by Sam Robinson
  • Possessing one of the NFL’s premier home-field advantages, the Seahawks will not have the luxury of fans creating that edge for them for a while. The team will not have fans in the stands for at least its first three home games. Seattle’s first three home games are scheduled to occur in Week 2 (Patriots), Week 3 (Cowboys) and Week 5 (Vikings). The NFL will not regulate each team’s fan policy, leaving it up to teams and cities to determine stadium capacities this season.
