I have no idea how they think this is an improvement for them. They still have no OL. Now they are out a WR and a high draft pick

 

[Shaggy]

Good move?

Sheldon is still a good player but a 2nd or 3rd?

In recent seasons, Jets discussed a Sheldon Richardson trade with Dallas, Denver, others. Seattle gets it done today.

At least some teams are making Moves to get better

#Jets get Kearse and a 2/3 for a Richardson, who is in a contract year. That's a damn good trade for a team not competing in 17

Ian Rapoport @RapSheet

Once #Seahawks’ trade for Sheldon Richardson is done, they will discuss dealing DL Ahtyba Rubin, source said. #Broncos a top landing spot

Will need to see the draft considerations, but a good move. Seattle tends to stockpile picks, even a 2 wouldn't be that bad

Kearse was pretty much done regardless, so not loss there

Malik McDowell isn't going to contribute this year so this it's a big gain. The DL is stacked and now has some depth as well

Michael Lombardi @mlombardiNFL

and Seattle will get a comp pick back if they don't resign him--Dallas should have been all over this..Seattle got much better

Good move for the Hawks........that is if Richardson can stay on the field, by not getting in trouble off of it.

Somebody wants to win the division. Let's see if Big Red respond.

Dang...John Schneider strikes again. They add Richardson to an already formidable front 7.

Richardson is one of the best LOLB in the biz....for a player Seattle was going to cut (according to 3 reports Weds and Thursday) and got a top flight player in return. Keim...where where you on this deal? Telling me we couldn't have found a way.....

The Sheldon Richardson deal also means that Brian Winters and Quincy Enunwa are the only two of John Idzik's 19 Jets draft picks left.

I can't but help laugh at this. If BASK gave up either Brown and a second rounder for possible one year rental? I think Seattle gave up quite a bit. Not to mention his off field behavior.

Good move by Seahawks - I think they are gunning for another Superbowl before their backend ages too much.

Maybe I'm crazy but I don't see it. Possible one year rental with one foot towards being suspended. Even if he stays clean and plays well he will command a huge contract.

There's the rub - can he stay on the field. Personally I don't want him.
