The common denominator among teams that give huge long term contracts to defensive linemen is that they all suck.
Franchise Mo next season and take it from there.

Question is, how do they know if Richardson has cleaned up his act? Because he doesn't get arrested, or flunk a test for a year doesn't mean he won't quickly after a contract is signed. Next one is 10 games.
I watched his interview the other day. The words are good agent speak, but his tone and body language suggest otherwise.
I t reminded me of when he got the 4 game suspension, stood there and told all the media that, that was going to be the last time they would have something big to report on him, 3 days later the resisting arrest story broke.
Kid worries me, I'm still not sure he gets it.
It's a long off-season; he's a student of the game. No problem with that monologue
There most definitely is risk associated with giving Richardon a long term deal. I personally think he's the best player on the line, but there are no guarantees that he will make a change in his lifestyle. Imagine if the Jets let Wilkerson walk, re-sign Richardson to a mega deal, and then Mr. Godforshort fails another drug test or gets busted doing something else reckless?
Manish and Co. would break out the SOJ articles and talk about the ineptitude of our entire organization for years. I couldn't bear the anguish of having to read those jerks piling on.
If we are having trouble signing Big Mo, there is no way we'll be able to sign Sheldon. Plus we don't have to worry about Sheldon for a few years now.

Yeah I agree.
Richardson is probably more of a impact player then Wilkerson, but I think as an All around player, Wilkerson is right there with him.
Myself, given a choice, I would rather pay Wilkerson a bit more then roll the dice on Richardson. pretty sure once Mo's signed he'll continue to play at a high level, heck his mom's lives near by, and is in the seats.
Not even sure Richardson will continue to perform once he gets paid. Even before the trouble came out he wasn't attending OTA's. Said he had a private life. That knowing what was about to break just strikes me as a guy who is super talented, but just doesn't give a crap. Look what Suh's doing now that he's been paid. Zilch
Not saying for sure Richardson will act like that, but the kids got a bad attitude.

Wilkerson has to be asking for way too much money and that is why the deal hasn't gotten done. That's the only possibility left as to why he hasn't been resigned..
Maybe it's about patience; and, wondering if Rex would "sell the house" to get MO96. We don't know the play/trade value of Richardson yet.
Players often have an overinflated opinion of themselves, but in this case its close to the truth. If Snacks is not the best pure 3-4 NT in football, he certainly belongs in that conversation.
Sheldon made more OTA's then Mo who was holding out as long as he didn't get fined.. Sheldon's ego would never let himself slack on the field.. Plus the fact Sheldon's trouble off the field may make him easier to sign.. Last year the Jets were sitting on 50 million and couldn't sign Mo maybe that wasn't enough for him??LOL If Mac can make Revis happy and not Mo mean something stinks in Mo-Town..

IDK Savage. Mo's not showing for OTA's is contract related. Richardson's was , I just don't feel like coming, FU.
Your right in that Richardson might be eaiser to sign being one toke away from a 10 game suspension, but that's a double edged sword.
Think Mo is asking for a lot of money, had some concerns with "turf toe" coming in. Don't think anything stinks in Mo town, they have a bit of leverage with Williams, and possible franchise tag. Last year Idzik was busy trying to screw Rex. He didn't sign Revis for 12 when he had the chance either.
I think the reason Mo's agent doesn't want to go the press with Mo's contract demands is they are outrageous compared to similar players at that position.. Here's 2015 top 5 DE's in a 3-4 defense..

Not really, if you are a fan of the LoS at all - which HYATT™ is completely.
To me it's the best part about football.
Snacks is without a doubt one of the Top-3 NTs in the NFL.
He's not quite Kris Jenkins in his healthy prime, but dayum, he comes close.
Jenks had a little better quick-twitch that allowed that 365# up inside before Centers and Guards could blink an eye, but he sometimes missed the run as a result.
Snacks is a wee bit steadier there, if not so much the sack threat Jenks was - which is why better OLB play is needed on the defense yet.

Patience? How long has Mo and the fans been patient? It's NOT about patience. And Rex has nothing to do with it. He's in Buffalo. Remember?
Mac is, for better or worse, shaping the team. If he can rob Buffalo...I mean, Wilkerson is a cog. No need to delay...except ... what?
I'm just teasing this counter-idea, to see what people think. Thanks for your reply.
Anyway, Mario is a bitch Diva...what a baby.
