What It Means:

With Muhammad Wilkerson and Leonard Williams serving as the Jets' top two ends in their 3-4 scheme, Richardson is the odd man out. He remains one of the better pass rushers in the NFL, so the Jets will most likely ask for a first-round pick in return, but they may have to settle for a little less. Richardson turned 26 in November.

The Jets' defense ranked 10th-worst in opponent-adjusted Defensive Net Expected Points allowed per play last year.
