Moral of the story is try, but don't go stupid and cripple your team in your attempt to try. Trying to get Richards wasn't the problem, the problem was the crazy length of the term that would have helped our cap when we were not a contending team and seriously hurt our cap room when we needed it later. Stupid. Trying to get ROR wasn't the problem, the problem was a a mix of giving up draft picks, locking into a contract where the QO would hurt us in a few years when we need the cap room (but help us now when we don't need it), and the laziness / lack of due diligence on the ROR of not taking 5 minutes to call the league and clearify the rules, and would rather spend countless hours and dollars to take it to court instead.
