First off, Stanton is a self-important idiot, which I always feel compelled to mention. Used to like him, but he went the way of Mike Florio and became a completely insufferable tool. Also, he's a complete ****. i stopped recommending him to Seahawks fans years ago.
Richardson is the epitome of a QB that needs to sit and watch for at least a year. Maybe we could franchise Geno, but I don't know how much he's going to buy in if he knows we have his replacement. There are probably several teams he could get at least 2-3 years from. I mean, it's not like he would tank the season, because he'd have millions on the line, but I like it better when our leaders are invested in our future.
I'm glad free agency is before the draft, so we'll have at least some idea on what's going on with Geno before we potentially draft his replacement.
