"We've got a rundown of things we can use against the Colts where I can recover my cash. They were fining me for neglecting to meet behavior code. Not making weight is not lead code." 

Richardson scrambled for 977 yards on 316 endeavors in 29 recreations with the Colts. He neglected to break 100 yards surging in any of those 29 recreations. 

"I'll be one of the top running backs starting now and into the foreseeable future," Richardson said. "They managed Marshawn Lynch off in his third year. Take a gander at what he's doing at this point. My next stop, I'll be the starter. Despite everything I have my pride and I know who I am."
