Scott Dierking Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Carolina defensive end Julius Peppers may have been at the Pepsi Center watching the Nuggets play Sunday, but it was De- wayne Robertson who was in town taking a physical last week. Unlike Robertson, Peppers isn't available for trade. Carolina general manager Marty Hurney was adamant while telling The Charlotte Observer that speculation connecting Peppers' appearance in Denver to a Peppers trade to the Broncos is unfounded. Denver is trying to acquire Robertson, a defensive tackle, from the Jets. His troublesome knee is a hang-up, but he has missed only three games in five seasons, none since 2005.

will Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Considering the miniscule return that is now being discussed relative to Robertson (a fourth round swap and a conditional pick next year) I wonder if the Jets are not better of holding him until after the draft and creating a heightened market for DT in the hopes that Ellis or Dorsey is there at #6. NO, CIN, DET and DEN are all teams in need of DTs. Why give one of them Robertson now when the better move might be to see who bites for the #6 on draft day? Trade Robertson during or after the first round of the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trade Robertson during or after the first round of the draft. If they use the money to extend Rhodes, get their draft picks signed and create a cushion for them to become flexible in the salary cap next year, I will consider it a good trade.

No need to be greedy and get stuck with him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JETSFAN5180 Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Trade him for a 3-4 th round pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jets desperately need to get rid of his cap hit. He's terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetlag Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Yeah seriously. Jets desperately need to get rid of his cap hit. He's terrible. Maybe once D-Rob comes off the books hopefully that will be the catalyst for talks with Mr. Rhodes about his extension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irish Jet Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Trade him for a 3-4 th round pick. I'd trade him for a Jam Sandwich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Troll Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 If all we can get for him is a 5 spot trade-up on the second day, honestly, I'd rather just keep him through the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats dumb because we have to pay for Kerry long term and get another shut down CB. Robertson is a cap killer i rather take a 7th rounder for him just to get rid of his 8.5 cap space Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robertson is a cap killer i rather take a 7th rounder for him just to get rid of his 8.5 cap space I did not say keep him for the season. I'd pretty much rather cut him than agree to a nothing little trade like the one that was rumored. And we do not need a "shutdown" CB. I guess no one has watched the Super Bowl since 2003 when the Bucs won with Barber/Kelly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#27TheDominator Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Any word as to how he did in the physical? Did he pass? As per rotoworld: Jets DT Dewayne Robertson was in Denver for a physical last week. Trade talks are ongoing, so Robertson must've tested well. The former No. 4 overall pick has missed three total games since entering the NFL in 2003. Source: Denver Post Related: Broncos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thai Jet Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Any word as to how he did in the physical? Did he pass? I wouldn't be holding my breath if I were Tangini. Let's not forget he failed his physical with Cincy just a few weeks ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess no one has watched the Super Bowl since 2003 when the Bucs won with Barber/Kelly. Well, I would even trade Robertson for a 7th in a heartbeat! Not only would we free up alot of space in the cap but we would also have a chance to get lucky in the draft, lets not forget about Coltson and the Saints. Give us a 5th? And im excited. I agree with you on the whole we dont need another shutdown corner opposite of Revis, I would much rahter have an elite safety to pair with Rhodes in the secondary.
