With top 3-techs making $15-$17M on average, that's quite an underpayment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richardson is playing well this year but he just hasn’t been as productive as the Atkins or Donald types. He has a bunch of QB hits but only 1 sack. He’s 12th in pass rush productivity and 32nd in PFF grade for DI. He only has 8 stops. Even if his production ramps up as the year goes on, and he ends up with a 6-8 sack season, that’ll be his first productive year since 2014. He’s not going to get a top of the market contract at age 28 with that track record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly wouldn't expect him to get that, but even I'd still think he'd get above $11M in the market if he has a good year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but those players have the “stats” in terms of sacks to back up those contracts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFeist Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Barring a massive upswing in production, I don’t see Richardson getting more, on a per year basis, than he’s getting now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
