Trent Richardson

Trent Richardson among Raiders' initial cuts

Running back Trent Richardson has been waived by the Oakland Raiders.

What It Means:

Oakland will eat the $600,000 it guaranteed Richardson back in March. After a failed stint with the Indianapolis Colts, he ended up reporting to Raiders' camp overweight and didn't impress anyone in the organization this preseason, rushing for 42 scoreless yards on 15 carries (2.8 YPC) and breaking one measly tackle.

Richardson ranked 35th in Rushing Net Expected Points per carry out of 43 running backs with more than 100 carries last season.
