Sheldon Richardson?

I hope we trade for Sheldon Richardson, it's reported Jets should hope for no more than a 4th round pick

I'd offer a fifth but he is in the last year on his contact and his cap hit is eight million. Don't think we can do it.

We'd have to have a new contract agreed to first.

Sign him after they cut him. It doesn't cost us anything and we can negotiate a better deal once he has no leverage.

[Formula 21]

Or you get him for a 4th, use him for a year and get a 3rd round comp pick when he goes FA. You know he'll perform in the last year of his rookie contract.

[Steve]

You could get the same thing if you don't trade for him. While no one really knows how comp pick formula is computed, it is the fact that you couldn't afford to sign the player that is how they figure it. So, provided he signs a big deal, it shouldn't matter how we get him. Donks have gotten high comp picks for people they sign in FA.

The problem that I would have is how do we use him. The front office still seems to like Liuget, so that is Richardson's starting 3 Tech spot. Neither Liuget or Richardson is as good as Mebane, although Mebane is not going to be on the field for 40+ snaps a game. I'm not against the idea, just I think it minimizes his production, which keeps his leaving price down, which means not much compensation (pick), and because he is behing Liuget, he is certain to leave after a year or two.

[Formula 21]

You would have to let Liuget go for this to work.

[Steve]

I'm OK with that, just I would have thought that is they were going to do that, they would have.

[Bolt-O]

No issue of ridding Liuget for Richardson. My issue would be is that Richardson could be a locker room cancer.

Not worth a 4th for a 1 year player
