If you think Tom Brady getting a four games suspension when it's all said and done, than I have a bridge to sell you. ( at worst two games , probably one) This isn't a big deal for the Jets losing Sheldon Richardson- providing one of the other Defense lineman don't get injured).

here jets first four teams they play, get the bye week 5.

Btw. Does Muhammad Wilkerson hold out to the start of training camp. He clearly has the leverage over the team, that the team had over him before this suspension was announced. What choice do the Jets have but to get a deal done with Wilkerson.
pick nits if you like about the length of brady's suspension will be, NE ain't trading him over deflated footballs now will they??

Mike Freeman from CBS sports line wrote an article recently about pot use in the NFL. Former player Jamal Anderson was quoted as saying that "roughly 60% of players use weed". I don't know how he knows that, but that's a big number. If he's anywhere close to that statistic, that's pretty amazing. It also said players know when they'll be tested, and that's how they don't get caught.

It's a good thing the Big Kat is here. Disappointed in Sheldon......hope this is his wake up call.

Muhammad Wilkerson , Revis uncle Sean wants you to give him a call. Wants to discuss the holdout of training camp strategy , he advises you to do, to get the contract you want from the Jets. Can you say Show Me The Money.

Mo will be at camp. Don't think a 4 game suspension for somebody else is going to impact his negotiations

Hopefully we dont rush the rookie for the sake of rushing him.

It does drive down his trade value, I have no doubts about that. he was already busted twice, so they know he doesnt learn from his mistakes...or he wouldn't have made a second offense.

It might also drive Mo's demands up knowing he's clean with no issues...

I also dont know if it drives Sheldon's price down, or if he just waits to become a free agent, bets on himself to stay clean, and adds a contract void clause if caught again and signs his 75 mill gauranteed deal with a 100 mill contract+ in a few years. I wouldn't be shocked if he goes that route over taking less $$$ to stay here.

Either way, I cant agree that losing him for 4 games in the few remaining seasons we likely have him is a good thing for us. id like to get as much out of him as possible while he's a Jet...
look, like any other jets fan i wish he didn't get himself suspended but he damn sure did..

all i'm saying is this is not a season crippling situation & it may work in the jets favor in the future..

even if it means not giving him a boat load of money because he's to stupid to be trusted..

Wow what a screw up move Shelton. Guess we'll find out the value of Mo and the rookie d-lineman and see what they can do without Shelton. Man I thought Shelton was smarter then this.

Anybody wanna tell me now that I was overreacting over sh*thead missing OTA's because "he wanted to be with his family"

I understood Wilkerson skipping OTA's, he was in a contract dispute. I could even understand Devin Smith skipping out on Mini Camp because he was about to have a baby, though it does bother me that he had the baby a week after Mini Camp ended. But there was absolutely no excuse for this fat bag of sh*t to be skipping out on OTA's when we have a new coach implementing a new system. That was pure selfishness, and don't give me this "I want to spend time with my family" bulls*t. Anyway, now we have a better idea why fatso and his big mouth suddenly became irresponsible.

Does that include not skipping out on workouts because you want to spend time with your family, fatass?

On second thought why bother showing up for training camp at all, might as well spend time with your family, thats the important thing, and we'll see you in October.

Mo's leverage just got better... AS for SR he is foolish and maybe down right stupid esp. if he knows he going to be tested. Its to bad but the rules are the rules but he chose to ignore them, so sit and hopefully learn from the 2nd mistake... if not you'll confirm my last comment.

This guy is a jackass with a big head and a chip on his shoulder, and that spells BAD NEWS going forward, because now he is firmly planted on the strict monitoring list and he will be tested out the wazoo for the rest of his career (which may not be very long), and frankly I have zero confidence that this dumbass won't get popped again.

If we could trade him tomorrow for a first round pick, I would do it in a heartbeat, but I don't see anyone giving us a first round pick for a guy who is now in the leagues drug program and a guy who thinks he's Mean f**king Joe Greene and can't stop talking about being the highest paid player ever.

Pretty sure this would have to have been his third mistake.

First positive test is no penalty but must attend substance abuse counseling.
2nd positive is fine but no suspension.
3rd positive is 4 game suspension.
4th would be 10 games.

This assumes you complete substance abuse counseling -- otherwise 2nd positive is a suspension.

So, either he failed 3 tests, or failed 2 and skipped out on counseling. Either way 3 mistakes. It is in his best interest to make sure there is no 4th.

I love Sheldon the football player. Sheldon the person must be an idiot. To have a strike against you and you still smoke, thats an expensive nickel bag.
I'll be there for my teammates, unless it's a voluntary minicamp. I need time to spend with my family and get high.
No matter what, his future negotiations took a big hit.Nobody's dooling out the big coin for a player that's a strike away from a year suspension. Blackmon and Gordon have taken care of that.
4 games,when he comes back he better be a man on a mission.

Impossible

There were actually fans here at JFU who were upset at scoring the best blue chip player in the entire draft at #6????

Yes, there were.

I would keep all three this year, but extend Mo as soon as possible. If Leonard steps up, deal Richardson after this season.

I would like to commend Jets fans, as it seems pretty much universally, we are down on Richardson for doing this.

If he were a Patriot, I am guessing the owner would have shouted about deserving an apology, and the fans would have denied the whole thing, insisting the league falsified the results because Goodell hates their team.

I was thinking the same thing, sack, and you know what, if Brady gets his suspension lifted or limited, Richardson should immediately appeal his suspension, lawyer up, hire that Kessler d-bag, tell the NFLPA he expects the same kind of vigorous defense they gave Tom Brady, including an appeal hearing that lasts 12 hours, where they challenge the results of this failed test from every conceivable angle including the effects a mosquito bite might have if said mosquito is carrying weed positive blood from his last victim, and I want a team of scientists too, to validate his bulls*t. Lastly Jets fans will have to picket the league office and the NY media will have to join in the chorus, but we might have trouble with those last two because Jets fans are not delusional homers, nor is the NY media (to put it mildly).

That's what sets the Pats apart.

Other teams have cheaters. Other teams get caught doing stuff.

But every other team mans up about it. And no other team does it as often.
