Jets cut Tony Richardson
Posted by Mike Florio on September 5, 2010 6:43 PM ET
Throughout this year's installment of Hard Knocks, Jets coach Rex Ryan made it clear that veteran fullback Tony Richardson has a place on the roster.
If he does, he'll get it back after Week One; Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Richardson has been cut.
A 15-year veteran and three-time Pro Bowler, Richard spent two seasons with the Jets, which followed two seasons with the Vikings, which followed 11 with the Chiefs. The Jets could be planning to re-sign Richardson after the first game, at which time the balance of his salary would not be guaranteed.
The most recent depth chart shows Richardson as the starting fullback, and rookie John Conner as the backup.
I don't care how old he is, he consistently produces and in turn all of the running backs he blocks for tend to have career years. PAY UP, if we want to win this season because he makes up for at least one bad O-lineman.

Ask Historian. He seems to be an expert.
