Jets FB Tony Richardson Unsure If He'll Play Next Year

Jets FB Tony Richardson, 39, is a pending free agent and isn't sure whether he'll play in '11. He says he might retire, but if he plays it'll only be for the Jets. He said he "couldn't see" playing for anyone but Rex Ryan. "It has to be a mutual thing," Richardson told The Star-Ledger. "If I make a decision I want to come back, then on the flip side, they have to make the decision if they want me back. It’s a business. You do have personal relationships, but you do have to have a business relationship as well, and kind of sit and talk about it and see what happens. No. 1, the CBA, that’s a big thing for a lot of players in the NFL, trying to decide what's going to happen with that. And then when things kind of sort themselves out, I'll have the chance to talk to (coach) Rex and (G.M.) Mike (Tannenbaum) and (running backs coach) Anthony Lynn. See what direction the organization wants to go, I'll kind of let them know how I feel, and we’ll go from there."
