Could the Richardson trade cause a rule change?

This trade fails to help the Browns be more competitive this season and is an obvious attempt to tank the season and obtain as many top draft picks as possible.

Could we see the league office step in to prevent these kind of actions?

It's bad for the NFL. There is no reason to watch another Cleveland game this season.

I have Jordan Cameron, so I'll watch. It's not like they gave up Adrian Peterson. It was a good value for Richardson. McGahee can get you 3 ypc.

The betting public will still watch the games simply for the point spreads.

Is there a rule that says you have to be competitive?

I bet you think you're both smart and cool.

Maybe even edgy.

Well, I've got news for you...

How is this different from what the Astros have been doing ?

Cleveland is putting themselves in position to build for the future. In doing so, they may be sacrificing some quality on the front end.

If so, wouldn't the Jags have been suspended as a franchise starting a few years ago?

Richardson hasn't been the game changing back they need. They need more support. Good trade IMO.

Browns will 1-4 games with or without Richardson. They get a 1st rounder now, no greater than a 3rd rounder if they trade him next offseason. Good move IMO

You sound like a heavy handed fantasy football commissioner.

Good to better-than-average running backs are a dime a dozen. We're not talking about Adrian Peterson here. A first-round pick can produce a starting LT or a franchise QB who is much more valuable.
