Sheldon Richardson was thrilled to see Muhammad Wilkerson finally get his long-term contract (five years, $84 million, $54 million guaranteed), but the Jets’ defensive tackle felt the organization could’ve rewarded Wilkerson even more for his stellar play.
“I was happy for him, real happy for him. Well deserved, probably deserved more, but that’s just my opinion,” said Richardson, who missed the past three practices with an excused absence.
Richardson said he was pleased with the NFL ruling June 30 to suspend him just one game for violating the NFL personal conduct policy. He pleaded guilty in January to resisting arrest after he led police on a high-speed chase in July 2015.
