The NY Jets agreed to exchange for rb James Robinson from the Jaguars. Sources close to ESPN has told the outlet about the deal on Monday evening, acting fast to address an unexpected gap in their back.

According to an insider who spoke to ESPN’s officials, the JetsNew York Jets will give the Jacksonville Jaguars a guaranteed 6th-round pick in 2023 that would move up to a 5th round if James Robinson rushed for six hundred yards this year. He has done three-forty yards already.

Jets technical director Joe Douglas searched the marketplace for a successor after losing star rookie Breece Hall. After his knee injury Hall might not play another game till the end of the season. Thus, after the injury on Sunday they started looking for a successor RB. With the trade period coming to an end on November 1 they got James. James  Robinson lost his starting job lately thus lost his value after being one of the game’s leading success stories just two years prior.

James Robinson To Ny Jets:

However, replacing Hall’s output won’t be easy. He has four sixty-three yards on the ground, which is seventh in the League. He averages 5.8 yards per carry, and he has scored a goal in four consecutive matches.

James Robinson is currently in the last year of the rookie deal he had with the Jaguars and, following the campaign, will be a limited free agent, giving the Jets the chance to keep his services until 2023.

On the Jaguars’ depth chart, Travis Etienne Jr. has eclipsed Robinson in recent weeks. He started the last two games and rushed for two hundred yards and a score on 24 attempts in defeats to the Colts and NY Giants.
