Free Agent Offensive Tackle Suspended By NFL

Former Jacksonville Jaguars offensive tackle, Will Richardson, faces a challenging path as a free agent in the NFL.

Richardson's journey has been marred by various setbacks, including a recent undisclosed three-game suspension issued by the league. The reason behind the suspension remains undisclosed, leaving his future uncertain.

Richardson's college career at NC State was tarnished by off-the-field incidents, including a DWI violation and a marijuana-related incident, which negatively impacted his draft stock.

Despite these concerns, the Jacksonville Jaguars took a chance on him in the fourth round of the 2018 NFL Draft.

During his time with the Jaguars, Richardson managed to stay out of trouble, but he struggled to secure a regular season appearance in 2022. Unfortunately, the team released him when a new coaching staff took over before the start of the regular season.

Now, as a free agent, Richardson faces the challenge of finding a new team while dealing with his recent suspension.

The lack of information surrounding the suspension further complicates matters for him. It remains to be seen how this suspension will affect Richardson's chances of returning to the NFL and securing a spot on a team's roster. Photo Credit: Mark J. Rebilas-USA TODAY Sports
