Fullback Tony Richardson, an unrestricted free agent who won’t be brought back by the Vikings, has been contacted by the New York Jets, according to sources....

Good for him.
Hope he lands someplace.

I hope he lands in St Louis.
Steven Jackson & Tony Richardson is a hell of a FB/RB combo, they'll punch you in the mouth thats for sure

Just imagine mixing him in with Chester Taylor and Adrian Freakin Peterson...now that would be a knockout punch...oh wait a minute...

Steven Jackson was a big disappointment to me last year, with T-rich he'll do better

I love what the Jets are doing, big players on the FA market

Does that mean then without T-rich, AD will do worse?

do worse? meh, AD's going into his Sophomore year, and he's already set his sights higher than they were last year.
Theres no doubt in my mind however that T-Rich will be missed, not only was a
sound leader and a good veteran voice in the locker room, but he would he the hole hard and take out a guy on the second level.
Certainly one of the top in the league for years~
