Should They Trade Sheldon Richardson?

If the call is between playing Richardson at LB or trading him, I'd deal him.
Agreed, if we're not going with a base four man front, might as well trade him, provided we get fair value.

IMO fair value means nothing less than a first round pick, and he's worth more if not for the baggage, but there is the baggage and you can't just ignore it, so I'll settle for a 1, but I'm not taking less.

Not sure he is worth a 1st round pick either. When was the last time Sheldon changed a game?? You can get almost any fat guy to tackle RB's. He is just not a game changer just like Mo is not either. He has 1.5 sacks. Nobody is trading a #1 for that kind of production. Plus he is one strike away from a long suspension. And he is too stupid to stay clean. Get what you can now.

He's miscast in this scheme and every GM in the league knows it, every coach too, except Todd Bowles who is so wedded to his system that he refuses to adjust to his talent, but instead wants the talent to adjust to his system, which is not a positive trait for a coach, but thats another story. Anyway, Sheldon is a penetrating 4-3 D-Tackle, maybe a 4-3 rush end. Put him in either role and he'll get double digit sacks in his sleep. Believe me, GM's and HC's know this. Any team with a base 4-3 would kill to have this player.

That may be true, but he is still not worth a #1. He is a loose cannon and won't sign for less than the highest paid. Both those things knock him down to a 3rd round pick at best. And I would jump on that.

He played 3-4 under rex, Bowles has used a lot of both fronts. 3-4 and 4-3

Do we trade Richardson for Romo? Make a run at this?

Alshon Jeffrey would be nice. But Romo is 36. How much does he have left? He's injury-prone, too.
We wouldn't builds a team around him, but I believe his contract is short term, and he would be a giant upgrade at the most important position with a cake walk schedule.

The sad part is that if they actually got a first round pick for Richardson, it would turn into the next Dee Milliner

And this team is just not very good. We are not Romo away from making a run. Our D sucks. Our OL sucks. Jeffery would be nice, but we need to be trading for draft picks not other teams trash.

If we plan to rebuild,and a young qb will be starting for us this year, then I think trading for Joe Thomas,browns o linemen makes the most sense. Help protect petty this year,infuse talent and get younger on the line.

He is older than Clady. We need draft picks.

Romo makes 18 million, Fitz 12 million plus Sheldon would make the money work
