The Facts: The Jets on Thursday re-signed Richardson. It’s believed to be a one-year deal with $500,000 guaranteed, with New York keeping the dependable blocker and locker-room leader.
Diehards Line:Richardson helped Thomas Jones rack up an AFC-high 1,312 rushing yards and a franchise-record 13 touchdowns last season. The veteran fullback came to the Jets last season after spending two years with the Vikings and 11 years with the Chiefs. He hasn’t scored a touchdown in the last three seasons, leaving that to the running backs for whom he blocks.
