Yashin was on the books for 8 years @ 2.2 M. And that seemed like a crazy long time.
Also worth noting the salary cap was in the 50-60M range for most of that period, so he accounted for ~4% of the teams cap.
2010 cap was 59.4, compared to 73M in 2015 (a little over 4% average annual increase). Assuming a 4% increase:
2020 cap = 87.6; Richards = 0.8% of cap
2025 cap = 102.2; Richards = 0.6% of cap
2030 cap = 116.8; Richards = 0.4% of cap
