FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (CBSNewYork/AP) — Sheldon Richardson heard the rumors, and he refused to stress over them.
Whether the star defensive lineman remained a member of the Jets after the NFL’s trade deadline Tuesday, Richardson insisted he would simply roll with it.
“It’s a business, bro,” he said Wednesday. “It’s just the way it goes. Good guys get traded all the time.”
With the Jets struggling to a 3-5 start, Richardson and wide receiver Brandon Marshall were mentioned as possibilities to be dealt. Instead, New York kept both, and the chatter ended up being just that, although one media report mentioned the Dallas Cowboys as a possible suitor.
