Thread: Sheldon Richardson to Seahawks

    Sheldon Richardson to Seahawks

    Adam Schefter‏ @AdamSchefter 30m30 minutes ago
    Jets trading DL Sheldon Richardson to Seattle for WR Jermaine Kearse and draft considerations, per source.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    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.
    One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

    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.

    Just think....last years 2nd Rounder Jason Spriggs and a subpart WR brings us Richardson !! lol......

    KUDOS TO SEATTLE !!!
    LIFE IS ABOUT CHAMPIONSHIPS; I JUST REALIZED THIS. The MILWAUKEE BUCKS have won the same number of championships over the past 50 years as the Green Bay Packers. Ten years from now, who will have more championships, and who will be the fart in the wind ?

    One more year. He's on his fifth round option.

    For one year. Then he gets expensive to keep.

    Or it could Nick Collins, Greg Jennings, Jordy Nelson, Randall Cobb, Eddie Lacy, Davante Adams, etc. for one year of Richardson.

    This could work out okay for the Jets. They get rid of a locker room cancer, gain 6 million in cap room and get a 2nd round pick and a good #3 receiver. Hell, on the Jets Kearse might be the #1 receiver.

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

    WHY DOES EVERYBODY ASSUME "ONE YEAR" ???????????????????????????????
    He could re sign

    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.

    YUP; even if he leaves they could get a 3rd or 4th rounder.

    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.

    Seattle, like GB, NE and a few other teams, seems to be able to deal with a "problem child" now and then without having him destroy their locker room; but, you never know when one of those deals will backfire, in which case he becomes a season-long disruption, or you release him and eat $8M in salary cap.

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