Browns trade Trent Richardson to Colts

JaMarcusHustle

Apparently he didn't show up for walk throughs and didn't give any notice, hence not travelling.

The guy is a disaster and probably a bust.

There must be an attitude problem there along with his poor play. I think every draftnik has him as a superstar in the NFL.

Anyways the Colts haven't done too badly, they are in an AFC Championship game tonight so the trade hasn't hurt them.

It seems his mother died which is why he didnt turn up

The more you look at it the more bizarre a time it was for the Browns to stock up on draft picks. There's a nest of QBs around the same level and the home run play, Manziel, isn't even likely to be the first one off the board. The Browns have put themselves in a position to vastly over-pay for someone.

Love Trent's attitude. He'll make it with time and a lot of voices here will go silent when that happens.

Good reread this thread is!! Buying into SEC hype is a sure fire way to make bad predictions as far as players in the NFL are concerned.

See what happens when you leave your leading rusher at home for the Championship game

So his mother didn't die. It was a twitter joke that was misinterpreted and everyone ran with.

And even if it were true, it would still be bizarre. We've all had family emergencies / deaths that meant we couldn't make it into work I'm sure. And I'm sure we all contacted our boss about same.

It appears Trent feels 'entitled' to success in the NFL.

I'm fairly disappointed by T-Rich. I thought he was a surefire success with his build and speed. It's fairly sad for the guy that he has gone from being a future franchise piece to barely an afterthought in no time at all.

I was one of those who though the Colts got a great bit of business as he had shown potential in his rookie year, even allowing for the lower YPC and injuries.

Situation is getting quite ugly. The Colts clearly want rid of him and there seems to be a PR battle being waged via the media muddying the waters over why he has received a suspension and what the next move by the Colts will be. A suspension seems to give the Colts the legal right to void the remainder of his contract, but it is looking more and more like it will be judged a classless move. Colts staff were playing coy during the combine when asked about the subject.

If he was cut I wonder whether he'd be picked up? I suppose he'd get a shot in camp somewhere on a vet min type deal with playing incentives but I'd be doubtful about his ability to make a final roster.

Next couple of weeks should be interesting anyway...

I don't disagree, but the NFL tends to be a classless / ruthless business. The level of class you receive from a Franchise tends to correalate with how good you are on the field. Richardson hasn't been very good to put it mildly.

Colts seem to have signed Frank Gore to a three year deal worth ~$12m. I expect the Colts will try and trade Richardson and cut him if they can't find a suitor.

As a Raiders fan I'd accept a trade that included Trent Richardson and the Colts 2nd round pick. I don't think their 3rd round pick would be enough for me to pull the trigger on it otherwise.

Nobody is trading for Richardson, he's getting cut.

Just been cut

Titans will continue to be my 2nd team with Orakpo & Richardson, not quite Locker but not bad

What a disaster. Wonder if he'll make it through camp at wherever he lands.

Raiders have announced he has signed with them.

Well, they've nobody else on the roster worth a damn so he should be in a good position to win the starting job.

Murray looks good and they signed Helu I think? Both are exponentially better than T-Rich.

They've given him 4 mill I read. I'm starting to think Reggie wants out of a job.

Murray looks okay. Let me put it another way: I can't think of many franchises weaker at the position as of today.

Well McFadden "replaced" Murray with the Cowboys!!! :eek: Yeah we are pretty weak at the RB position.
