Just hoping for some exciting play from Richardson to make the losses sting a little less. Hopefully the O-Line has gotten themselves sorted out.

Let's go! Only 29 days until kickoff!!

For real. I do feel for the RBs though, they used to get top dollar but with the offensive changes of the last few years it's shown RBBC is a valid strategy if you have an above average line. Draft rookie RB and run them through those deals and let someone else overpay for the slowdown/injury years.

Sounds like Colts tried to swipe him before he met with the saints. At this point they just need anyone at RB.

All stems from him wanting to get a contract extension done before season started instead of playing the last year on his rookie deal. Sounds like there was some animosity between him and Colts ownership which resulted in him requesting a trade. Ownership said no way we are trading him so now at a stalemate similar to the Leveon Bell situation a few years back.

Not surprising to see him dip out of camp while this gets worked out.

 

Not surprising to see Taylor step away with the continued issues with the team.
