Nearly two months after an aborted deal that would have seen Jets DT Dewayne Robertson shipped to Cincinnati, the team has finally found a home for their former fourth overall pick, who became expendable following the acquisition of Kris Jenkins.
Robertson is headed to the Denver Broncos and the Jets will receive a conditional 2009 draft choice dependent upon Robertson’s playing time in Denver.
Via ESPN.com:
Had the Jets not been able to deal Robertson, he likely would have been cut in June. He was due a $3 million bonus in June and has salary cap number of about $11 million for this season. Robertson, 26, was the No. 4 overall draft pick in the 2003 draft out of Kentucky. He had 57 tackles for the Jets last season.
Now that Robertson’s gargantuan contract is off the books, could this free up some money for disgruntled Tight End Chris Baker?
