[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 1096551, member: 7261"] It will cost the Packers something to make that happen. Richardson is still under contract with the Colts. His cap hit and dead cap hit are identical: $10,816,284. So if the Colts release him, they really don't gain anything but being able to split that dead cap hit over 2 seasons. What they lose in releasing him is a player with talent and could play as their backup, as well as a potential 2028 comp pick. Also, Richardson might have a say as to where he goes. Maybe he wants to compete for a starting job, that isn't happening in GB. Now if he was smart, he would see what happened to Malik and urge the Colts to trade him for a 7th rounder to the Packers. Unless Richardson is screaming and threatening not to play for the Colts, I just don't see a situation where they trade him for less than either a halfway decent player or a 2027 5th round or better pick. He's paid for and can be a solid backup for the Colts, that is worth a lot. [/QUOTE]
