The Facts: Seattle's biggest question at this position heading into the offseason is Richardson's future. If Richardson, who becomes an unrestricted free agent next month, really wants $7 million a year — as some have suggested — that might be too much for the Seahawks (John Clayton of ESPN 710 Seattle has reported Seattle won't want to go above $5.5 million for Richardson).
Diehards Line:
Richardson finally showed what he could do when healthy — his yards per reception average of 16 was the highest for any Seahawk (of those among the team’s top five receivers in a season) since 2010. But Richardson was also prone to inconsistency as was the rest of the receiving corps. Times staffer Bob Condotta suggested that how aggressively Seattle pursues Richardson could also indicate what it envisions for Tyler Lockett’s future when he becomes a free agent in 2018 – conventional wisdom has been that the Seahawks are likely to only re-sign one of the two.
