Robby to the Panthers

[Embrace the Suck]

I like not overpaying for anything, but a sure thing. Robby had too many red flags on and off the field. Good luck Robby.

Breshad Perriman seems to be the next guy to come off the board? Demarcus Robinson? 

Both? I’d imagine Demarcus Robinson would be pretty cheap and decent.

lol what?  All he's been doing all offseason is adding new CB's/OL or signing his own.  

Ah yes, the renowned George Fant. Who had the honor of playing backup offensive line for the Seahawks, who are also renowned for there stellar o-line play.

Are we trying to tank for Lawrence? No corners, no o-line, no wrs. Either Douglas is betting on nailing every pick of the draft or he is straight up planning on tanking next season.

Yeah that's what replacing Robby does, takes us into a deep tank for Lawrence.  

Because we not only let Jerry Rice go we need a QB too.

No OL and corners?  Have you been paying attention

Good luck having Teddy throwing to you down the field on those fly routes 

Just coming to say the same thing.  His main threat is negated by Teddy's noodle arm.

[SR24]

Trade for Trent Williams and draft a WR at 11 or trade for OBJ and go OT at 11. 

[UnitedWhofans]

I tend to believe that WRs are more overrated than ever because of the scheme and rules.

Belichick proved that.

Our current WRs (10) 

• 82 - Jamison Crowder 5'9" 177 Duke (WR)

• 17 - Vyncint Smith 6'3" 202 Limestone (WR)  
• 83 - Josh Malone 6'3" 208 Tennessee (WR)
• xx - Josh Doctson 6'2" 205 TCU (WR)  (Off Season Signing)
• 15 - Josh Bellamy 6'0" 208 Louisville (WR)   === ERFA === (2019 INJURY)
• xx - Keon Hatcher 6'1" 215 Arkansas (WR)  (2019 Practice Squad)
• xx - Jehu ChessOn 6'2" 204 Michigan (WR)  (Off Season Signing - Future Contract)

• 16 - Jeff Smith 6'0" 195  Boston College   (WR) (2019 INJURY)  

I liked Doctson coming out of college. He could be a big surprise. And Q if he's healthy. We will need someone probably with our no. 1 if the right guy is available. I think Douglas will see how it goes who he can get at overall 11. If a good O lineman he likes falls he'll take a lineman. If it's a Wr he'll draft one of them.

Ah yes, you're stuck on that.  Guess none of the other moves happened and you're going to tunnel vision on one.

All it means is JD appropriately valued Robby Anderson.  

Serious question.

Is there anything JD could do that you wouldn’t agree with?  

Or are you in blind trust mode at this point?

[FlightBoyz]

He wanted to play for Rhule. JD stuck to his guns n wasnt gonna be forced to overpay. Time to move on.

Yeah, we lost a good player but not a great one.

He was our best WR, but that's not saying much. He's a good #2 or a great #3, who wanted to be paid like a star.

Sorry we lost him, but we move on - hopefully with a FA like Perriman and a high draft pick at the position.

Robby isn't worth 20 million. Quite the 1 trick pony. I just hate that we may have to Draft Jeudy/Lamb now at 11. I wanted that stud LT instead.

[GeorgeJetson]

Maybe look at Cooks if he gets cut? 

[Adoni Beast]

I like not overpaying.

I don’t like the lack of weapons Sam has.

If we’re going to be stingy about 1 or 2 million, Douglas better have a back up plan...something like signing Perriman and trading for another receiver.

Great Post.  That what it came down to. Sure Robby would have stayed if we gave him a few extra millions per year ?

A bad draft would move me against him.  So far he's done nothing to hurt the team and a lot to help it.  He's trying to clean up the mess of about 10 consecutive years of bad GM work for this franchise and is doing a stellar job.

Are you in "everything sucks" mode at this point?

[Jet hustle]

Great lets sign 4 more OL and have no one to throw ball.too next year

He's got 2 TEs and a slot receiver. Brady had 1 TE and a slot receiver

[CTJetsFan]

Not happy about this. That was not a ridiculous contract to match. I would call it "fair market value".

Robby was the only skill position player that Sam had a good rapport with because he'd been there for his 2 years (Herndon too but out a lot due to injury/suspension).

This LT or WR at #11 in the draft thing just got more serious.

[Prestige Worldwide]

Now we can trade our 2nd and next years comp pick for obj

You got that from Douglas not thinking that Robby is worth $10+ million a year?

I don’t understand why some people are freaking out over this. This just makes it more likely that we take someone like Jeudy, Lamb or Ruggs at #11 and give Darnold a legitimate go-to weapon in the passing game for the next decade.

I also fully expect Douglas to bring in someone like Perriman or Sharpe (maybe both) in the meantime.

[T0mShane]

There’s no way Douglas is done at wide receiver in free agency. No way they trust the current group going into year two of the regime. I smell.........a traaaaade 

[Larz]

Not a surprise

Maybe it was a lot more than a $1-2M overpay?  Maybe JD sees Anderson as a borderline WR2/WR3?  He wouldn't be wrong.  

[harts724]

Vyncint Smith will be better than Robbie Anderson anyway

I think JD could go about this in a few different ways, one being sign a Jason Peters type/trade for Trent Williams and then go best available receiver at 11. 

[BroadwayRay]

I don't think this means JD is going to trade for a receiver. I do think it means he definitely signs a free agent WR, whether it be Perriman, Funchess or whoever. It also increases the chances he goes WR with the top pick. I don't see how JD can look at the state of the offensive skill positions and not consider doing that.

Brutal...that's a reasonable deal. No reason we couldnt have done the same, unless RA just would have rather reunited with Rhule. 

distinctly posssible that he wants to be in Florida as he did mention the cold and dark on NY winter,,,

i would guess that we were slightly below that....

Good thing this is a DEEP receiver class, Douglas might have to grab 2-3 this April.

I just cant believe that Jets fans have gone from hating Joe Douglas to liking Joe Douglas to hating Joe Douglas in a matter of a week. It's mind boggling

So it’s basically a one-year, $12 million dollar deal, presuming the guarantee is the $12mm? Meh. Good luck to him

Yup.  I'm ok with him walking for that price.  Best of luck to Robby.  We can get Perriman for a fraction of the price and draft 1-2 studs in a loaded draft.

[playtowinthegame]

We can replace him with another undrafted free agent. ***crosses fingers****
