PRich contract year

[chris98251]

I read that this is his contract year, now the question.

Are we going to resign early, or at all, yes he has to stay healthy and there is the real issue he can play we all have seen that, but do we with his injury history? Other teams I am sure have seen his talent, he climbs the ladder well, he has speed, runs good routes and has great hands, just not big.

 

[Seafan]

I'm going to miss him.

 

[Bobblehead]

The guy looks great right now..

 

[SlickRick]

I wish we would have kept Kasen Williams, wouldn't of been to bad if we lost prich then. But Paul is a beast, With his health a concern let's see what happens

 

[Anthony!]

I would be very surprised if they let him go.

 

[Seymour]

My guess is he gets is the Tate treatment (lowball offer) and is forced out of town. It will be tough to throw more then around 5-6M to him so it may depend on mostly other offers.

He will be re-signed and it won't break the bank. He doesn't have enough flashy stats for any other teams to come after him with huge multi-year contract, even if he has a great year this year. The concern will always be his injuries.

:34853_doh: I remember when JS decided to let Tate go and pay Kearse...still baffling.

It rarely works out well to keep middle grade players. See Kearse and Lane as recent examples. Comes back to bite you when you need to pay stars, or acquire FAs etc.

We have Baldwin. I think we need to keep churning the rest of the guys behind him.

He first has to make it through the entire season. Dude has flashed but is so injury prone

Paul gets a bad rap when it comes to being labeled 'injury prone'.

He was out all except one game in 2015 due to a torn acl and hamstring, but only missed 1 game in 2014, 1 game in 2016 and none in 2017.

The way people talk about him it's as if he's never available and that's not true.

CJ on the other hand...

It rarely works out well to keep middle grade players.

Richardson has been a lot better than middle grade this season. He doesn't have that many targets, but is open on many of his routes and a lot of those 12 yard passes to Baldwin are there because the free safety is making a bee line for Paul.

Richardson's efficiency stats (55% catch rate, 9.3 yards per target, 16.8 yards per reception) are outstanding so far this year and beg for him to get more targets.

 

[Fade]

Too risky unfortunately given his brittle thin frame, and injury history. If they can get it done at a good price great, but reality is he will get better offers from poorly run teams with tons of cap space desperate to make a splash signing.

This will be Paul's best season as a pro. His livelihood depends on it.

The Hawks would have to re-sign him before the season ends. If he hits the open market he is gone.

 

[jammerhawk]

Yep, think so.

Very risky re-up b/c of his injury history, it’s fun watching him become all the team thought he’d be though.

Rather sure the team would like to keep him but with Graham and Shelton Richardson to re-do, not that hopeful.
