The NFL trade deadline is not until Oct. 28, but the Jets are adding some players before then without making any deals that can help them down the stretch.
They’re getting back three significant bodies over the next few weeks in defensive tackle Sheldon Richardson, running back Stevan Ridley and cornerback Dee Milliner.
All of them can help.
The biggest impact will be the return of Richardson, who just finished a four-game suspension for violating the league’s drug policy. Richardson is back this week and will play against the Redskins, and makes a ferocious defense even scarier.
