Sheldon Richardson is ready for a change of scenery

Earlier this offseason the Cleveland Browns released defensive tackle Sheldon Richardson and had hopes of a reunion, but now that is not going to happen.

According to Jack Day of KFAN 100.3, Richardson is likely heading back to his former team, the Vikings and not the Browns.

When the Browns released the eight-year veteran back in April, it was to save $12 million in cap space. Cleveland had hoped that Richardson would return but understood that he would have to explore it if another opportunity arose.
