Seattle gave up a 2nd round pick for Richardson.
Why would they let him walk? |

They have to sign him to a long-term deal or franchise him, and that's if they like his fit (doesn't appear he fits their defense all that well) and production this season (which hasn't been stellar by any means).

What I do know is that we are going to seriously need to re-tool our DL to actually fit the new defense we're going to run.
If we're going to run two-down lineman for an entire season, we need to really improve the talent we have there. Having marginally above average players like Bailey or RNR is suddenly not remotely good enough. Logan's probably a goner. So Chris Jones is, arguably, the only guy on the team that even has a prayer of functioning in this defense. I support bringing Logan back, trading Bailey, keeping RNR as depth, and adding one or two more blue chips at DL. I just don't know how we can do that. Bringing on Richardson would be a great boon to the team. He's a match for us. I think if we get a 1st rounder, we should consider burning it on another DL. If we're just going to play 2 DL all game, then we really need to get a ton tougher there than we currently are. RNR and Bailey are both fine players but neither of them can thrive in the system we're running. |

A 2nd round pick and Jermaine Kearse to the Jets for a one year player? Awful. |

My alternate to this was to burn FA money on CB Malcolm Butler and drafting DT Trenton Thompson out of Georgia if that works better than the Richardson situation.
Seattle has a big decision. They have 19 million in cap, so they can retain Richardson but may need to dump another big contract to retain alot of other guys. Rumor is that could be Sherman? |

Outside of Marcus Peters, Justin Houston and Eric Berry (who's out for the year), there's just not much there. Chris Jones is experiencing a "sophomore slump" but I think he'll snap out of it before next season (and hopefully, before). Hali and DJ are old and slow. Bailey's had a tough year. Logan, too. KPL and Ragland have shown some upside but they're far from being finished products. Frank Zombo is the epitome of an average player and Dee Ford is seemingly always injured. Steven Nelson can be better than average but Acker, Mitchell and Gaines, on their best days, are far from average. Eric Murry is definitely a liability, as is Sorenson when he's asked to drop in coverage as a linebacker. This defense has a LOT of holes to address. |

Sheldon Richardson would be a huge get, but I feel Seattle will release Sherman and use the savings to keep Richardson. I'd maybe get an edge guy in FA than rely on a good Defensive draft. |

If Richardson is failing in Seattle, he’ll fail in KC

I certainly prefer a stud DL in FA and a CB in the draft, but I'd take it the other way too. I wouldn't mind a guy like Travis Carrie as a FA CB for around $5-6 per. |

I really think that first and foremost, the Chiefs need to look for a strong DE to anchor the side of the field. Allen Bailey has been a good player at times, but he's not stout enough. We need a strong, stout lineman to hold the point and stuff the run, and I think that's why a huge guy like Cam Thomas was signed. Maybe we could look into a Star Lotulelei, but I think Arthur Jones or Quinton Dial would be perfect along with a high draft pick. I think after that we need to just take BPA on the defensive side. Honestly it doesn't matter to me because every player outside Eric Berry, Marcus Peters, Chris Jones and maybe Bennie Logan are absolutely replaceable. Just quit drafting these long term development picks. It's so stupid. If he can't get on the field year 1, don't invest in them until the 4th rd (would be okay with a known player being injured). Draft guys who have shown they can play and be tough. It's not hard.

The only logic factor here is whether or not Seattle re-signs him. I think they'll try to. They have a situation in which they can. They do have some big contracts to sign coming up (Clark, Graham, Thomas...) but should have some older talent leaving soon (Avril, Sherman come to mind) |
