A lot of people have been hard on Richardson through this whole lockout, making him look like a divider, not a uniter...

But below is a lengthy video of several interviews with some owners following the NFL Owners ratification of the agreement.

Some high praise from some big time owners here, even from Jerry Jones! Repeated comments on his leadership skills.

Go Jerry.

Seems like most of the criticism on JR (ironically) came from people here. I think most "in the know" understood that this was a negotiation and most of the moves by either side was to try and gain an advantage.

I thought the Brees and Manning comments were great. Fact of the matter is JR is one of the few people that can say he not only knows football, but he also knows business. On top of this, he is still a hand shake kind of guy which is refreshing in such a non-hand shake world.

The owners got more money from the players than in the previous cba and jerry was one of the leaders.

Ofcourse the owners like him.

Money talks.

Guess you didn't watch the video.

The owners didn't get everything they wanted, but still arrived at a place all 31 of them could agree on. (Scabface doesn't count).

      I wouldn't trade Svech for the best FA on the market, Marner included. Matter of fact, someone would be giving up a top line scorer and a couple draft picks for Svech.  Look at it this way, if Svech was a UFA in a couple days, what does his contract look like? That'll tell you everything you need to know.

      I know it a real homer take but Im not sure Id slam dunk take that list over Smitty.  Smith just played a different way, he had an ability to just take over a game as a matter of will.  The catch against the giants where he caught it and took a helmet that broke his arm mid air, the games against DeAngelo Hall, 05 Bears playoffs, Ice Up Son, the revenge game against us. Those other WRs may have better stat books but love him or hate him, good guy or bad, Smith just played a different game and when he did look out.

      Absolutely would have to be anther young scorer with either ELC time or a long term contract...    Could see maybe Kyrou or Robertson.... But I really just dont see him being traded you dont trade your leading post season scorer on a long term deal when he isn't even in his prime yet..   not to mention unless you get more than one of those guys at best it would be lateral with unknown team chemistry.
