For Sheldon it seems. Benjamin AllbrightVerified account @AllbrightNFL 3m3 minutes ago The #Seahawks are trying to work a trade with the #Jets for Sheldon Richardson
Adam Schefter @AdamnShefter 59s60 seconds ago Jets are acquiring WR Jermaine Kearse and a 2018 third-round pick from Seattle for DL Sheldon Richardson and 2019 fifth-round pick.
Yeah. That account has been successfully trolling Twitter for a while. Got sites to run with the fake news multiple times. Don't get why it hasn't been banned yet.
Ian RapoportVerified account @RapSheet 1m1 minute ago The #Jets have traded for #Seahawks WR Jermaine Kearse, source said. (@TheGeeScott on it first). Won’t be the last move for them.
NFL.com shows it as Sheldon for Kearse and a 2nd or 3rd rounder http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap30...s-trade-richardson-to-seahawks-acquire-kearse. That's also a cap savings of $5.8M. If they weren't going to be able to keep Sheldon this looks like a good trade for the Jets.
So do we know the draft pick? When news came out Kearse was on the trade block, I immediately feared this might happen. Not a fan. Edit: Reading it's a 2 or 3.
Its Kearse + a conditional 2nd or 3rd. I actually like the move considering Sheldon was not gonna be here next year.
I'm looking at it more from the view that they would not be able to resign him for next season and only get his use during a year when the team is going to suck. A little cap savings and hopefully with that defense Richardson hits whatever numbers he needs to for it to turn into a 2nd. I won't expect too much from Kearse this season, but when Enunwa comes back next year, I think he will be a nice #3WR depending which of the draft picks or Anderson step up.
GREAT deal. Mac is regaining my faith! A 2nd Round Pick and a starting WR for Locker Room Cancer Sheldon who would be leaving the franchise via Free Agency in a few months anyway? Unbelievable! As I have said before, Sheldon will beast out this year. He wants that $$$$$$ and it is all he cares about. So the deal will be good for Seattle too.
