Former NFL running back Trent Richardson confirmed to AL.com's Matt Zenitz he won't pursue a contract with the Saskatchewan Roughriders of the Canadian Football League.
Justin Dunk of 3DownNation, which covers the CFL, reported Tuesday that Richardson was heading to Regina, Saskatchewan, to finalize a contract with the Roughriders.
Zenitz reported Richardson balked at the terms of the deal. He would've been under contract with Saskatchewan for the 2017 season, and the Roughriders would've had a team option for 2018, limiting Richardson's flexibility if a door to the NFL opened again.
