Richardson better than Wilkerson? Sorry, cannot agree with that.

Both healthy and giving 100%? Sure Wilk may be better.

But he's been known to take plays off. Sheldon goes full speed all the time.

Plus people tend to underestimate Sheldon's athleticism. He's a 3-4 DE that can play DE and DT in 3-4 or 4-3. Plus OLB. He's a freak that can plug the middle, rush, seal the edge, or even drop into coverage (a bit).

He even had a couple TDs as a RB early on.

They're both great players. Again though, safer bet has to be Wilk considering off the field stuff.

Meanwhile, back in Paradise,

Jets fuming over Maccagnan's choice to trade Sheldon Richardson​

The Jets channeled their inner Jets by pulling off a bone-headed move yet again. The team with the single worst roster in the NFL traded away one of their three most talented players because the man in charge backed himself into a corner. It was Mismanagement 101 on One Jets Drive for a star-crossed franchise still wandering through the wilderness in the hopes of locating a clue.

Tell us what you really think, Manish!

The truth is the Jets bungled this situation so badly that some of the green-and-white clad zombies actually felt that this was a good return for a 26-year-old Pro Bowl defensive lineman.

Plenty of those to be found, sigh...

“You don’t let the most talented guys leave… especially at that position,” a team insider said of Richardson. “You try and find a way to make it work.”

These Jets evidently are allergic to good football players.

Full on snark mode from Manish.

“We should have sent them Hack,” a second source said.

Fair point.

Make no mistake: Maccagnan was not a popular figure inside the organization after this trade. People were ticked off.

It's turning ugly.

The Jets claim that they want to foster a culture made up of players, who have a love and passion for the game and the team. Richardson embodied that.

“He loves to play the game,” one team source said. “He loves football. He goes hard in practice, plays hard when he’s in there.”

Yeah. The Jets don’t need more of that.

Pretty hard to be all "next man up" when you make a trade like this.

On the bright side, Woody and Chris Johnson will save $5.9 million off this trade. Richardson was set to make $8.1 million this year. Kearse will make $2.2 million. Bloated wallets aside, the Richardson trade was a microcosm of this regime’s poor planning. Maccagnan boxed himself into a corner by committing big money to Muhammad Wilkerson, who wound up embarrassing the franchise and himself on and off the field last season. The GM foolishly doled out a lucrative contract extension to Wilkerson last year rather than simply let the defensive end play on the franchise tag in 2016. Franchising Wilkerson would have created maximum flexibility — and options.

Great move: give the big money to the older fatter guy.

Getting draft capital is a lot easier than actually picking good players with it.

Word.

 

[BritPat]

And that's why you need as much draft capital as possible.

Mehta is a clown, along with all of the other NY media, his opinion is worth only the same as internet message board blowhards.

IMHO most fans over-rate the draft. Sure it's one way to build a team, but so is free agency, un-drafted players, trading for under-valued players from other teams, and re-signing your own good players early so you don't pay a premium for them later. The Jete suck at all of the above.

Manish's points about how the Jete have bungled their dealing with their D line are solid. They have let go of Snacks Harrison and now Richardson and are clinging to an aging and overweight Wilkerson as one of the few players they are keeping long term. D linemen don't age well. Mo will be irrelevant this season.

Mehta is a clown, along with all of the other NY media, his opinion is worth only the same as internet message board blowhards.

At least he's good at being a clown, and does have access to opinions inside the organization. I don't have a hard time thinking that one big chunk of the organization is pissed off at losing Richardson. It was clear he was the leader of one faction of the locker room last year (Marshall was the leader of the other).

Now we have this hollowed out entity that is going to put on their slime green unis and try to play football. It will be an absolute joke and Manish is right about calling out the team for pissing away the few good players they've drafted and putting a joke of a team on the field.

Looks like Gee-No! made the Jints:

Giants cut Josh Johnson; Geno Smith earns backup job

Draft capital is only as valuable as the management that holds it.

Mcaago is no better off than a nympho in a porn shop with 1000 bucks in his sticky little hands.

They are tanking for the first pick only to build another perennial 8-8 team.

That's what talent gets you. 8-8. More than that requires leadership, culture, schematic chemistry and experience which takes time to develop. The Jete have non of those elements at the moment.

There isn't a sales pitch that will build a winning mentality on a team that has basically tossed a year of these player's careers in the garbage.

The resident troll and his 2018 pipe dream is just ludicrous.

 

[The Gr8est]

Seattle didn't stop to consider that since Richardson is no longer a rodent, he will be subject to the normal NFL* scrutiny and discipline.

I smell fear.

I smell fear.

You should. That and embarrassment.

That, and..

No, you smell swamp gas. Go play in traffic.

 

[TommyD4207]

Plus people tend to underestimate Sheldon's athleticism.

Maybe when he wasn't rocking that 365 lb frame, but that's what he's got now.

 

[JetFan79]

Maybe when he wasn't rocking that 365 lb frame, but that's what he's got now.

And he still can play OLB in a 3-4 with some flat responsibility.

 

[PatsFanInVa]

You know what's funny? You can see more SB-winning talent by watching "Ted 2" (or "There's Something About Mary") for the length of a 10-minute cameo, than watching the JEST for 49 soul-crushing years

And here's wishing you 49 more, 79.

Guys, we HAVE to think of something to do for the big 5-0.

Oh, oh... I know... lose the division to the revamped Jets?

But let's not get ahead of ourselves just yet. The 2018 offseason will be a blast itself. Wanna savor it.

 

[Bill Lee]

Wanna savor it.

Ok, here it is!

 

[Bill Lee]

Jete trade of Richardson frees up SEA D-line depth and makes us stronger!
