Maybe one of the web Wizards can post the full article? @Patriot Killa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetsfan80 Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Robby Anderson Declined $40M Offer From Jets Before Signing With Panthers Wide Receiver Took 2-Year, $20M Deal With Carolina Instead By Boomer and Gio, WFAN Sports Radio 66AM & 101.9 FM New York 3 hours ago The Jets made a four-year, $40 million offer to Robby Anderson before the wide receiver agreed to sign with the Carolina Panthers on Tuesday, WFAN's Boomer Esiason revealed on the "Boomer and Gio" show. Sources Esiason spoke with told him about the offer Gang Green had on the table. Anderson instead will sign a two-year, $20 million contract with Carolina, where he'll be reunited with his college head coach, Matt Rhule. Esiason said he thought the Jets' offer "would've been more than fair for both sides." "Robby wanted to take less years and wanted to bet on himself and obviously wanted to go play for a coach that he knows, 'cause the coach obviously down in Carolina was his coach at Temple, and he feels comfortable with that offense that they're building around Joe Brady, their offensive coordinator down there," Esiason said at the start of Wednesday's show. "So Robby decided to leave and essentially bet on himself 'cause he wants to be back at the free agent table in two years, and I don't blame him. "I don't know if the Jets would've offered him the two-year deal. That I don't know. But I do know that, according to my sources, that there was a four-year, $40 million deal on the table for Robby Anderson." Shortly after losing Anderson in free agency, the Jets found his replacement, agreeing to terms with former Buccaneers speedster Breshad Perriman on a one-year contract that will pay him anywhere from $6 million to $8 million. "Robby Anderson, he's had good things in his past as a Jet, bad things in his past as a Jet," Giannotti said. "But it seemed like him and Sam were on the same page. And that's the part of this that I don't like, that here's Sam Darnold going into his third year -- and you're talking about two bumpy years to start out -- and it feels like he's starting over again. And I just don't think that's the greatest thing for a young quarterback like him." Added Esiason: "Probably the loser, I guess -- if you wanted to say that he was a loser in all of this -- would probably be Sam Darnold because of the relationship that he had with Robby Anderson. And then the other question is now, when are OTAs going to start? Are they going to start? Are these guys going to get a chance to work out together? Are they going to get to know each other?" Boomer said he expects the Jets to add one or two more receivers in the draft. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElBarrioJets Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 It'd be one thing if the Jets low balled him and he signed elsewhere. But if they went any higher here, we'd all be going nuts. Sometimes other considerations (chance to play for an old coach) outweigh the financial ones. The Jets made a quick move to sign Perriman, who is a player in the mold of Robby's and the same age, for less money. With other intriguing vet options still out there and an absolutely loaded WR draft coming up, I'm not seeing the urgency to freak out about Robby leaving. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonehands Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 I question this report. A 4 yr $40 million offer seems to be very against the grain from what we have seen from Douglas...especially after the first day or two of signings. Unless there was no guaranteed money, my guess is that we offered a one year deal and lost out to a two year deal, so Robby could save face. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post docdhc Posted March 25, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 25, 2020 So i guess we shouldn't be too upset with Douglas. He made a fair offer to Robby and then played the hand he was dealt and signed Perriman. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In no way, shape, or form, does this mesh with the type of contracts JD has been handing out. This sounds more like Robbys agent saving face and definitely has the tinge of Manish Mheta behind it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree...I think even if the numbers reported were close to being correct the guaranteed money was probably pretty low. It would make more sense for him to take a 2 year deal and then hit free agency again for more guaranteed money. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't he's done yet. There are always some serviceable vets that get cut and can be productive, like Thomas last year. Healthy tight ends will help also. I don't think we are getting a big name though, the draft choices have to produce. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would this be a leak from Anderson's camp? If anything it makes Robby look like he took a lot less to go to the Panthers. Have to imagine a 4-year, $40M type of offer would include more than $12M guaranteed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting two years at 10 per is better than getting 4 years at 10 per because you aren't loving locking yourself into a salary when the cap keeps going up. Plus, like you suggested, I'm sure there wasn't a ton of guaranteed money. So I totally understand why Robby chose the Panthers. I do think going from the Jets where he was the man with Darnold to the Panthers where is one of 3 very solid WRs(Moore and Samuel both emerging) is risky. His Target share may drop. Not to mention I'm not exactly sold on Bridgewater as a QB being able to keep 3WRs fed and CMC gets a ton of touches. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"But I do know that, according to my sources, that there was a four-year, $40 million deal on the table for Robby Anderson." The sources were probably Robbies agents making with the spin. I still don't get a contract where the 2nd year is a 33% pay cut. I think Robbie saw the 12m in year one and didn't think about 8m in year two. If he has a good 2020 season he'll be pissed about the pay cut in 2021 and there will be nothing he can do about it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonehands Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 So, if we offered 4 yrs $40 million and Robby and his agent wanted a shorter deal, we said no? That makes zero sense. I call BS, a second time on this report. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the idea that Robby potentially ending up on 3 teams in 3 years is somehow a net positive for him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post IndianaJet Posted March 25, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 25, 2020 Carolina ran, on average 67.3 offensive plays per game last year. Granted, there's a whole new staff, but they were 6th in the NFL, with Philly averaging 68.5...so it's not like Rhule is going to come in and greatly increase that number. McCaffery averaged 18 attempts per game with another 9 targets per game - that's 27 plays per game. DJ Moore averaged 9 targets per game Samuel averaged 6.5 targets per game TEs Olsen and Thomas averaged 10 targets per game. That's 53 of the available offensive plays. That's not a lot of plays left to divy up between Robbie and all other skill players. He's at best, the 4th option on this team, possibly 5th depending on how they view Ian Thomas and/or anyone replacing Oslen. Robby may be betting on himself, but he's not going to get anywhere near the opportunities he would have seen with the Jets. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lith Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Sometimes despite your best efforts, a player just wants to be somewhere else. Make a fair offer, and he decides to play with his old college coach, there is not much you can do. Either overpay to try to keep him or let him go. Given the circumstances, letting him go was probably the right choice. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
