New York Jets

DT Sheldon Richardson

The Jets won't cut the 2013 first-round pick because they'd have to eat his guaranteed salary ($8.1 million), but a trade remains a possibility. They've been trying to move him for a few months, but his trade value is low. Best-case scenario: Richardson plays well to start the season, and the Jets deal him before the midseason trading deadline. He's in the final season of his rookie contract, which means they will lose him in free agency. -- Rich Cimini

A 4th would have landed him in the draft...I'd send a 4th right now...Brez would have his hands full, but too talented to overlook...

Only if the Jets would allow contract talks prior to the trade to see how greedy Richardson is going to be on an extension.   Giving  up a mid round pick for a 1 and done DT doesn't seem wise considering how bad we are needing depth at most positions.
