Now that Trent Richardson
has left the minor leagues and moved on to an NFL team the question is will he
take the opportunity to step up?
The
trade seemed to come out of nowhere, I think this came as a surprise to many in
the football world. How many teams trade a #3 pick after only one season with
the team? He was healthy (more or less) and productive (as well as one can
expect playing for the Browns), Ryan Leaf and Jamarcus Russell both got 3
seasons with the team that drafted them and they both were flops before they
ever played a down in the NFL. Some applaud the trade, pointing at Richardson’s
3.4 yards-per-carry and state that he is expendable with the expectations that
the team management will use the additional pick to nab a top flight
Quarterback in the 2014 NFL Draft. I suggest that Brandon Weeden should start
planning his post-NFL career now.
Now
the high octane Colt’s offense will center on a trio of young stars with Andrew
Luck, T.Y. Hilton and Trent Richardson so we may end up seeing some fireworks
and if Richardson leads the charge expect to see his card prices jump
dramatically. Even without playing a game for the Colts his cards are already starting
to show plenty of activity with close to 250 new auctions added to eBay in the
past 24 hours and plenty of bids.
