In hindsight I think it was a bad trade. I think we’d have had a more stout run defense with Rubin and I don’t think Richardson was enough of a disruptive force in the pass game to justify cutting Rubin and eating his cap hit, trading a 2nd rounder AND paying Richardson’s salary. We’d have had more in-season roster flexibility and that 2nd round pick if the trade never happened. Being so tight against the cap handcuffed the front office, most notably when it came to eating Walsh’s remaining salary and replacing him.
