A tank job would be if Richardson was good enough to improve the Browns record by a few games (you stated he did not make a difference) and they had to play a lesser player in his place.
no tank job just a good football trade that any team regardless of record would have made.

Totally disagree.
Tank job = intent.
Saying you have to wait a year to assess whether it worked or not kind of ignores the definition of the tank.
