now if you want long winded articles that say almost nothing,that is your choice. 

And we are already thin on depth at DE, so BRob stays.  Cut Murray, extend Barr (he is way more crucial than most people can see). 

another 3 million off the books if Berger retires...

So what is the competition up to?
The Packers signed Mo Wilkerson.
The Eagles traded for Michael Bennett to add to an already deep and talented D-Line.
And the Saints are trying to get Suh in for a visit (thanks to Brees for signing for relative peanuts).

he is a free agent,  how do you figure?

If they sign him for 15 million the nay sayers will go through the roof.  Linval makes 12 million a year and is a pro bowler.  Richardson has 2.5 sacks in the last 2 seasons and people think they over paid for Cousins.

I checked the team roster and number "91" is available...somebody let Richardson know it's waiting for him.

Garofolo f’d up the report on Richardson, Seattle has not offered 11million, Garofolo said so himself. He also said that 10m+ should get-er-done!  B) Don’t let him out of the building!

This is not true - he was said he wants 11 million - not 15:

UPDATE 3:38 P.M. ET: Garafolo tweeted that he misspoke in saying the Seahawks offered Richardson $11 million, saying he meant Richardson would take something in the $11 million per year range. “Gotta clear something up. I’m being cited as saying the Seahawks are offering $11m per year to Sheldon Richardson. They are NOT. I reviewed the clip and I see how I phrased it in a way that made it seem that’s what I was saying. Bad wording by me. Apologies on that.”

Saw that Siemian is in the final year of his deal at 1.something mil.   Cousins is north of 28.

Cousins' salary for 2018 is 26 mil.

I’m hearing the info on Richardson is wrong. He was offered less from Seattle and belives he’s worth $11 million. Also heard Cousins will count $24 million against the cap. A bit of backload counting on a rising cap perhaps?
