I would rejoice. Richardson will be done by the time Cleveland is a winner. You don't build around a RB. You build around a QB. Now they have ammo if they don't have the #1 outright.
Edit: They are explaining this right now.

Ogbonnaya played 52% of snaps last week (33) where as Richardson played 62% (39). I'm grabbing Ogbonnaya for ####s.

Totally stunned. W...T....F....
As was mentioned, 2014 first round should be fantastic and Cleveland is setting themselves up to make a splash and draft whomever they want.
If they want Bridgewater, they'll need the ammo to get him. Well...they might not need to trade up now.

Add the Browns into the usual suspects on the rent a defense threads.

in the NFL you can't win without a franchise QB, so i guess this trade locks in Cle for a top 1-5 pick in a draft loaded with QB talent. Maybe they figured they had to sacrifice Trent to make sure they don't win more then 3-4 games.

Might as well trade Gordon if they really want to secure that #1 pick.

Irsay wasn't kidding!!!
Colts acquired RB Trent Richardson from the Browns in exchange for a future first-round draft pick.

Their is one stat that stook out as an issue I had with T-Rich.
Lack of big plays.
What was missing for Richardson were the big plays. His longest run of the year was only for 32 yards, and just two of his 267 carries went for 20 yards or more. That's not a lot: 0.7 percent is the fifth-lowest rate for any back with 200 carries or more over the past five years.

It's not throwing in the towel. It's a brilliant trade for CLE and terrible one for IND. I knew Irsay had a big mouth, but I didn't realize he was this bad.

And now the obligatory "Trent Richardson sucks" posts from Brown fans...

Serious questions....
A. How many teams would be smart to trade their starting RB for the Colts 1st rounder?
B. How many teams would be smart to trade a 1st for Trent.
To me, the answer to A is at least 27 (and I could be talked into 32, if it wasn't in the middle of the season).
The answer to B is clearly zero.

I don't see how this can be bad for T-Rich right?? I mean hugely better team, massively better QB, got to be good news for Richardson overall?

Drop Snelling for McGahee?

Footballguy
He has maybe one practice figuring he has to take his physical and other housekeeping, and faces the 49ers. I think you need to sit him.
This is unreal. Buy-low period over. Chance he plays this weekend?

I think so, hes a smart kid and will adapt well.

You think the Colts traded a 1st for Trent ####ing Richardson so he could split with broke ### Bradshaw?

McGahee to sign with the Browns might be the least sexy fantasy transaction in recorded history.

as a Richardson owner I'd think he obviously warrants a benching for this week....anyone care to hazard a guess as to how long it takes for him to get up to speed to be playable in fantasy?

Thats the part I dont get
something has to be going on with Trich that we dont know about. This makes no sense on any level

No, actually it reeks of something being really wrong with Weeden. Can't wait until the medical reports come out in a few days indicating he's gone for 8 games or more.
This is as blatant a case of throwing in the towel as I've seen in a long time.

Sure, and it was a bad pick at the time but that's not really the point.
They got a 1st round pick for a RB, which is highway robbery. Most teams don't get to get bailed out of wasted first round picks.
