SEA trades for Sheldon Richardson

[fraguela09]

Seahawks acquired DE Sheldon Richardson from the Jets in exchange for Jermaine Kearse and 2018 second-round pick.

The teams are also swapping seventh-round picks. It is quite a deal for Seattle, who unloads an overpaid receiver plus a pick for one of the more talented defensive linemen in the league. Richardson will join a front seven which already contains Bobby Wagner, Michael Bennett, Cliff Avril, K.J. Wright, Frank Clark, and more. With Richardson owed just over $8 million in the final year of his deal, Seattle may look to work out an extension.

The Jets just have no problem displaying their intention to tank this entire season.

2nd round pick plus a WR that might even help the Jets is quite a bit more than what had been talked about. I don't think the Broncos would've given a 2nd round pick. This might not be overpaying for Richardson, depending on how he works for them but a 2nd rounder is pretty high.

FL Network's Ian Rapoport reports the Seahawks plan to try and trade DT Ahytba Rubin.
Rubin, 31, signed a new "three-year, $12 million" deal in March 2016 but received really poor marks from Pro Football Focus for both his run defense and pass rush last season. Following the addition of DT Sheldon Richardson on Friday, Rubin looks like the possible odd man out. If the Seahawks are unable to find a trade partner, they could save $2.2 million by releasing Rubin.

They just said on 104.3 that DEN a favorite to land him.
