I didn't realize he was a UFA this coming offseason. He is up their in age, but clearly showed he can still play/block at the level he has been known to do all his career. It doesn't hurt that he is such a great locker room leader, as seen in Rex's locker room speeches after the games.
I think he'll be back, he must see what Schotty sees too. We are going to be a force next year, a force the likes of the NFL hasn't seen in a couple years and/or 20 years.
I hope he comes back, but I would really like to see what Jehru Caulkrick (sp?) can do if Richardson retires
He was called out for his blocking--now T-Rich is an awesome lead blocker but please, Schotty, don't make him the outlet on passing plays or a ball carrier.
