If the Jets are going to tank in 2017, it would make perfect sense for them to move a player in Richardson who will be a free agent following the 2017 campaign and has been on the trade block for some time now. Richardson, 26, is set to earn $8-plus million in 2017. And there’s really no future for him in New York with the likes of Leonard Williams and Muhammad Wilkerson already locked up over the long term.

It remains to be seen what New York might be able to get for Richardson. Sure, the team didn’t like the offers it received during the draft, but things have surely changed since then. In reality, some contending team should call up Jets brass and see if Richardson is still available. Here’s a guy that remains one of the most versatile defensive linemen in the game. He can play inside in a 4-3 and outside in a 3-4. Heck, Richardson dropped back into coverage as a linebacker last season.

Teams like the Oakland Raiders and Dallas Cowboys would be optimal landing spots for Richardson. In reality, it could put both defenses over the top in terms of contending for a Lombardi Trophy in 2017. And while a long-term contract wouldn’t necessarily be in the cards, renting Richardson for one year could make sense.

Jordan Matthews, wide receiver, Philadelphia Eagles

Now that the Eagles have Alshon Jeffery and Torrey Smith slated to play big roles in 2017, Matthews has been relegated to likely slot duties. This comes after the former second-round pick and fellow youngster Nelson Agholor let then rookie quarterback Carson Wentz down big time this past season. Simply put, the Eagles themselves are obviously not sold on Matthews playing a huge role moving forward. Hence, why he was on the trade block during the spring (more on that here).

Still only 25 years old, Matthews provides a nice amount of upside. Remember, he’s one year removed from putting up nearly 1,000 yards and eight touchdowns in Philadelphia. That’s most definitely nothing to sneeze at. And in reality, a change of scenery could make a ton of sense here.

It’s also important to note that contending teams are not without their issues at receiver. Just look at the Minnesota Vikings as a case study here. The team reached for the troubled Michael Floyd in free agency, only to see him suspended four games by the NFL after violating the league’s substance abuse policy. The desperation there seems to be real in Minnesota, especially after 2016 first-round pick Laquon Treadwell struggled as a rookie.

There’s definitely a market for Matthews. It just remains to be seen if Philadelphia has given up on him completely. If that is indeed the case, we would love to see him moved during training camp. Finding that right spot could help this youngster overcome his recent struggles.
