The new FO and coaches don't believe Richardson will fit in their long-term plan, might as well trade him now while his value is still high. Mid to late 1st round pick is still better than latter rounds. They can trade away that 1st round pick to stockpile on 2nd and 3rd picks on first day of draft. Either way, it's win and win situations for both Browns and Colts.

Another option I would of liked to seen is for them to persue trading Richardson out of the AFC.

An NFC teams with draft picks to throw around in need of RB ... the St. Louis Rams would have been a nice fit.

Plus the Browns would have received a higher first round pick.
