Jets trading DL Sheldon Richardson to Seattle for WR Jermaine Kearse and draft considerations, per source.
That's a terrible trade for the Jets. Depending on that draft 'consideration.'
From Rotoworld:
Jets acquired WR Jermaine Kearse and a 2018 second-round pick from the Seahawks in exchange for DT Sheldon Richardson.
Well, for those who like the "all-in-now" approach, this will be hailed. If it is a second-round pick, then the price seems like it could weigh heavily down the line. I don't, however, know anything about the contract Richardson has or how many years are left on it.Quote:

So the deal was a 2018 second rounder. Would you part with that AND Cobb for one year of Richardson?Quote:

Or does assuming one year just make us feel better about the spin ?
Next year he'll price himself out of Seattle unless they do some shuffling. If he plays well again he'll be $12-15m per year.
He is seriously a monster. And he will get Suh money.
Richardson was available on draft day this year for 2nd rounder. Crickets then. He's a good player. Would have liked to see him in GB.
So the Jets actually got more by waiting to the start of the season... wow.
Seattle will either get Richardson back on a new contract, or they will receive draft choice compensation for losing him as a FA. A compensatory pick will minimize the impact of losing the draft pick they gave up to get him now.

Great job by Seattle's GM
Not sure I would call it "great". Richardson is still the guy who has caused problems, even above and beyond the banned substances issue that alone have become common on every team. He is the guy who tried to avoid arrest by driving 140 mph with a child in the car, openly criticized teammates by name in the media and apparently went on a social media tirade, all in the past year or so. In addition, he will cost them $8 million this year.Quote:

That said, I think Seattle is taking reasonable risk in this deal.
