Yeah, I have no clue why they did that. I am not an Indy fan and I HATE the Giants, but Ahmad Bradshaw is a pretty talented RB. I don't think Richardson was much, if any, of an upgrade over Bradshaw. Yeah, Bradshaw got hurt, but if I recall correctly he was perfectly healthy when the trade was made.
I said in the thread (few others did as well) that TRich was a totally overrated solid power back at best. If it wasn't the same ol Browns that dealt him as it was spun, it was clearly a great deal.
