Richards Absolutely WAS Traded to Atlanta?

[scott99]

Our long national nightmare is finally over.

 

[SHOWTIME15]

For Christ's sake, say good things about him until the trade is finalized. Atlanta executives might read this.

No way to delete the stuff written about him on this board over the past few years

 

[Kontradiction]

Not that I really care because Richards being off the team is excellent news in and of itself, but what is the compensation? Or did we have to give a pick away too just to get them to take him?

 

[Hammer of Thor]

Conditional 7th. Hopefully the condition is missed tackles and at least 50% of plays he takes a bad angle.

 

[Bill Lee]

So what did they get back, a bag of kicking tees?

Conditional 2020 7th rounder, so, yeah...

 

[Hammer of Thor]

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Normally my next question would be, what did we get in return, in this case I could care less.

Reminds me of the Lenny Dykstra quote:
"Did you hear this pitcher has been traded?"
"Great trade! Who'd we get back?"

 

[SHOWTIME15]

Ironic that he’ll make his debut with the Falcons next week against Philadelphia where Foles gets to tear him apart again.

I can’t believe they actually were able to trade him.

Lol it literally couldn’t be a more worthless return. Which is well deserved.

 

[JayNM]

Now the comeback is the second worst thing we've ever done to Atlanta

 

[Crazy Patriot Guy]

I didn't think it was possible to trade a player for only a conditional 7th round pick but come out the big winner.

Until today.

It’s not hyperbole to say this is one of the greatest moments of my under 30 life.

 

[Hammer of Thor]

If I were a GM in that situation, I'd try to do something amusing like offering a conditional 7th rounder in 2028.

Honestly, is he actually a good special teamer? He’s on a few units but, I’m not sure he’s even that good.

I think you’d rather have a special teams player on a similar level that’s somewhat playable on one side of the ball than have Richards. I doubt he’s good enough on special teams to warrant him on a roster.

He was always okay but not nearly on the level of Bolden, King (let alone Slater or Ebner).

Wow! This was the one year I feel everyone resigned themselves to believing he'd stick around
