New York Jets Need To Release Sheldon Richardson Immediately
Noah K. Murray-USA TODAY SportsNew York Jets defensive lineman Sheldon Richardson was suspended four games by the NFL on July 3 for violating the league’s substance abuse policy. Speaking for the first time on Thursday since the suspension, Richardson said, “I’m not a dope fiend, man,” he told reporters, adding, “I apologized to my teammates and this organization. I told them they don’t have to worry about my name being in the news again.” Less than an hour after those comments, the story broke that Richardson was arrested on July 14 for resisting arrest after an incident in which police say he was driving a car in a high-speed road race near his home in St. Louis.
