Decamerion Richardson rookie contract details with Las Vegas Raiders revealed after NFL Draft

Following Decamerion Richardson‘s No. 112 overall selection in the 2024 NFL Draft by the Las Vegas Raiders, his rookie contract numbers have been revealed.

According to Spotrac, the former Bulldogs star will sign a four-year rookie deal worth approximately $4.806 million. As a fourth-round draft pick, Richardson’s rookie deal won’t come with a fifth-year option for the Raiders, which means unless they extend or re-sign him, he’ll become a free agent after the 2027 season.

Raiders select Richardson in fourth round

Richardson came off the board in the fourth round after spending four years at Mississippi State. His first year there was the COVID-shortened 2020 season in which he did not see the field at all for the Bulldogs. However, in 2021, he will appear in eight games, recording 13 tackles. In the following two seasons, Richardson would play in all 25 games for Mississippi State.

In those two years, his junior and senior seasons, Richardson recorded 164 total tackles, 93 solo, two tackles for loss, one sack, and one fumble recovered. Richardson did not intercept a single pass at the collegiate level; however, he is accredited for ten pass breakups at Mississippi State.

Richardson played his high school ball at Boisser High School in Boisser City, LA. He committed to Mississippi State in 2019 and arrived on campus in 2020 as a part of their 2020 recruiting class. Out of high school, Richardson received a three-star ranking with a grade of 85.4. In the 2020 recruiting cycle, he ranked 813 nationally, 74 among cornerbacks, and was the No. 33 ranked player to come out of the state of Louisiana, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.
