Jets are right to give Sheldon Richardson another chance

Defensive end Sheldon Richardson of the New York Jets has been a problem off the field, but he is one of the better defensive players on the team. The Jets are making the right move in keeping him on the team.

New York Jets’ defensive lineman Sheldon Richardson has been one of the more productive defensive players on the team’s roster throughout his career. Unfortunately, he’s had some off-the-field issues lately. With his substance abuse violations, his arrest in Missouri and his Snapchat video where he insulted the game, it doesn’t seem like the right decision to keep him.

However, he still has great talent, and that’s hard to find. If the Jets were to just get rid of him, then they risk losing talent at that position for a while. Instead of cutting or release him, they should keep him for at least another year and work with him to get his mind right.

He’s a great player who has made some poor decisions. If the team succeeds in helping him, then it is possible that they could make that talented player a lot better because he will feel more comfortable playing for a team that cares for him.
