Jets either take that fifth rounder( move on) or keep him for another year.( watch him leave without getting anything in return.
so if he has a good year we should trade him?Very Jet like way of thinking ...Trading good players has gotten us no where.The Jets honestly look like a team desperately trying to be irrelevant.
I wouldn't mind with Richardson on the roster - but that shouldn't mean Jets go 4-3. I'd think that, if Jets rotate Richardson, Wilkerson and Leo, they should be able to have fresh DL presence late in the game. That should be better than whatever Jets might garner by trading him.
The Jets aren't paying a player 8 million and half to be a rotational player . Too much resources are going for the defense line. The Jets final need to invest in some pass rushing Olb. The Jets aren't locking up Richardson to a longterm contract after this season,( can't trust him that he isn't going to screw up). It does the Jets no good to eat eight million dollars of Sheldon Richardson salary ( keeping him on the roster) this year on a rebuilding team.( better to trade him and roll over that savings to next season. I'm sick of the fans sentiment you can't trade talented players away. yes you can as you can't rely on knuckleheads . The Jets need to get rid of all the cancers on this team, before they can start to build the pieces of a championship team. Again whatever you get for S Richardson take it, the organization will be better off in the long run.
Forget where I saw it but someone suggested the Jets use Richardson as the piece to move up a few spots in the 1st rather than give up an extra draft pick to do so (I believe they had the Jets trading down before moving back up). Depending on location that could end up working out better for the team than picking up a 4th. Sent from my KIW-L24 using Tapatalk
Rather use Richardson as a tool to trade back INTO the first, preferrably before the Steelers, that's about 8 spots. Trade our 2nd, Sheldon and maybe a future pick.
I think the latest we see Richardson moved is on the first or second day of the draft, if he isn't moved, he will certainly be kept on the team. He should have been sent packing last season but Macc's asking price for a player with multiple off the field problems was too high. I honestly don't know how we get higher than a third round pick at this point. I'm thinking we get a 4th honestly.
I honestly don't see how the Jets get better than a fifth round from a team.( too many stuff working against the jets. If Sheldon Richardson moved it will be a trade before the draft. ( so we have less than two weeks). Once the draft gets here ,very unlikely he gets moved. Probably stuck with him for one more year.
Sheldon +39 for 1st is ok. Sheldon + future pick for 1st is ok. Sheldon + 39 + future pick is not. We're not smart enough to bundle picks to move up. Nobody is. We should be doing the other thing and letting the geniuses who think they can pick a winner every time give us multiple picks to move up and take our spot.
I agree. I think there are far too many negative factors working against the Jets. 1) Multiple off the field problems 2) Disappeared production wise last season No team will want to give a high pick for a player who although has boatloads of talent, also is one strike away from a long suspension, and played at a mediocre level last season.
I made the same posts, ad nauseam about this idea, but you'l have a hard time convincing this bunch because it's always been about 'throw away the baby with the bath water' mentality. If it was up them, we'd have recycled GM's and Head Coaches every 2 years...great way to run a franchise....NOT.
we have like 70+ million next year already. the 8 mil is easily worth a better pick. look how much money Cleveland gave up for a 2nd round pick/ i'd gladly sacrifice 8 mil to get a 2nd round pick
we have a log jam at the position. we have willaims and wilkerson already. he's expendable. like remember when we had FEAR (furgeson, Ellis, Abraham, robertson) we traded abraham for a 1st round pick. drafted mangold who anchored our o-line for 10 years. this could be the same situation. trade richardson, draft a position of need and it's a big upgrade.
It's entirely based off how far you want to move up. Sheldon is a 3rd round value right now. Sheldon + 39 to move + a 5th will probably make a team sign off on it. If we can do Sheldon and 39 to move up 12 spots then definitely do it.
Again, the Jets aren't smart enough to make a trade up like that a no-brainer. Too much chance we miss on the pick and are out 2 other potential players (whatever we could have gotten for Richardson plus the 5th round pick) alongside the guy we missed on. Trade down. Up is a recipe for disaster. Even if you find a Revis there's no Super Bowl there, just a .500 team paying too much to somebody not playing QB.
Trading up is usually bad for business at the top of the draft cause you are giving up more picks. I see this as a different scenario and a lot of teams have made trade-ups back into the first in the past without putting the team in jeopardy. Looking at Mac's trading history in the draft, I think he's smart enough to make a trade without giving up too much. The trade for Shell was pretty good in hindsight. If the Jets trade back into the first to get an pass rusher like a Charles Harris who they have been linked to, it will improve this team dramatically without much repercussion. Especially if they get a great safety prospect to go along with the pass rusher. The end of the 1st is where a lot of edge rushers will go. You never know what you will find. Charles Harris could one day become the Jets all time sack leader, you never know. If that were to happen the trade up would've been one of the best in Jets history. Me thinks you are being too negative. The Jets do get it right SOMETIMES.
Okay because the Browns are the model franchise the Jets should follow what they are doing. What the Browns do , do the opposite. better chance of that working out.
No but they received great praise for the trade they pulled off. they turned 15mil in cap room into a 2nd round pick. if we can get a 2nd round pick for 8 mil it would be a great deal. whats better 8 mil extra cap when we already have 70+ million or an extra 2nd round pick on a team that needs young talent at alot of positions.
We actually have $54 million in cap space next season not $70 plus. I think most would give up $8 million for a second round pick but Sheldon is not going to bring us a second round pick. Also he will be an UFA after the season. Can't tender him and if we franchise him, his salary will be more than double. So now it's $8 million for a one year rental Next season it's over $16 million for a one year rental. The only plus is come July , Richardson should be Released from the league's substance abuse program and he starts over with a clean slate. So if he were to mess up it would be the same as a first offense and no suspension. Of course we are just coming up on the active drug testing period for NFL players so hopefully he has it in him to stay clean for a couple more months.
