Initially it sounds like a good idea, but I think you're underestimating Harmons role in this defense.
Harmon last year really showed what he can do and has become one of the best "center field safeties" in the NFL. IDK if he can play the roaming ball hawk FS but being able to do the other well is good in itself and good enough for most NFL teams in need of FS help.
I would hate to do anything to weaken the team and taking Harmon off would do that cause while i like Richards he is not the player Harmon is (at least yet).
If the Pats were to make any move at safety I would almost want them to trade McCourty for a top DE and sign Harmon long term. It be very risky but with Butler and Chung and Harmon's center field ability i think it be possible to do that. I would not do that either (unless the DE was really good but i doubt that haha) but I don't see enough gain for trading Harmon with what he means to this team unless you gain something this year.
