That makes no sense, maybe they just made a really bad decision not to buy him out but it's not like it was a huge favour towards Richards they thought he was serviceable is all.
Not sure if this has been asked already, but how does cap work for a player suspended during rehab? Either because he's suspended for refusing rehab or because he's taking the 6 months off for rehab.
