He would've been a disappointment if we took him with our second original pick. The fact that we traded both of them to move up and get him makes it SO much worse.
umm Kris Jenkins?? and if your saying put him to ilb HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA ha
Of the six top players available in this years draft; Gholston, the longs Darren Mcfadden, Glen Dorsey, and Cedric Ellis, there is a very real possibility that only one of the top DT will be available. If thats the case i see us trading down to a team like the bengals, or broncos who are most likely very interested in one of there services. In that case i think we end up keeping D-rob to play DE picking up a stud with our first pick and gaining a few more draft picks. If we are forced to take either Glen Dorsey or Cedric Ellis (which i wouldn't mind at all i think both could do wonders for the jets in our hybred defense at DT in the 4-3 or DE in 3-4) then D-rob will probably get shipped off for a sixth or seventh round pick. I think our first selection will dictate D-robs future.
no he makes to much money just such a crazy amount that it is no way a way to have this guy riding bench
1. Tannenbaum didn't make DSlob pick. Neither did Mangini. Dslob is squarely Boobway's biggest blunder yet. 2. If they can't trade him, the Jets should just cut him and get the whole mess over with. 3. Seriously, as I have stated in other postings, if I were a GM of any respectable NFL franchise, I won't go near the tepid tub of lard that is Dslob, much less give it a look.
Which is good, you know. The Jets might fool the Broncos into trading for Dslob. Anything more than a piece of ham sandwich and a bottle of coke is considered success.
Here's the problem with cutting him although they will because they have no choice. If they wait until after June 1st they can spread his remaining cap hit over two years. If they cut him before that it all hits this year. BUT we owe him a 3 million dollar roster bonus payable on June 1st....lol.....what to do....what to do......
As an old saying goes, you just don't mortgage your future for the present. Cap hit? Ok. it's atrocious. But trading him won't hit us with the cap hit? I strongly doubt if that's the case either - if Dslob doesn't get to finish his contract with the Jets, whatever was spent on his guaranteed money will come back as a cap hit anyway.
Right now he counts $12 Million against the '08 cap. If we cut or trade him we save $8.4 Million and he only counts $3.4 Million against the '08 cap.
The only other team besides the Broncos who may even consider Robertson is the Buccaneeers. They have a ton of cap room they didnt use in free agency & he could fit in there at the 4-3 DT position. If they even mentioned a 4th round pick, I'd say TAKE IT.
uhhh.. if your suggesting putting him at ILB I don't even think Madden thinks that would work... you can't just throw someone in any position... Thats more far fetched than having him move to the Oline (which also is impossible).
If the Jets move Robertson to End and Jenkins stays healthy, 6 to 8 sacks. He'd be equally productive in Denver if not deployed at NT. Either way, he's going to have a comeback year and the Jets can either look bad for not seeing his value at end, or lucky for having the trade fall through.
It has sounded all along that the bone-on-bone situation with DRob's knees is the stumbling block, not necessarily the money and contract only. I think the deal would have been done by now if he had passed the physical. So now, he looks like damaged merchandise all across the NFL. If we have to keep DRob, it's not the end of the world, but Tanny needs to sit him down and work out a happy medium with him on his contract... let him know that if he doesn't restructure for us, we'll cut his ass and he'll wind up with less than if he had renegotiated. Flat out tell him he's damaged merchandise and convince him his only home in the NFL is right back here, but that we're not going to continue paying him the outrageous money he (and apparently we) thought he was once worth.
Finally, someone seeing the real picture here. George, your on the money with this post, lets hope we can work out a deal with Robertson to restructure his salary and stay. He is a great DE and if Jenkins pans out we could have a great front line.
Yey! I second that. I really cannot fathom the hate directed at Dewayne Robertson , DSlob??? So the guys playing bone on bone, and hardly missed a game, wankers. The flip side of the coin is that, the closer it gets to June, and the 4-3 teams that have missed out on a DE will either panic into a move...or we keep him and he plays alongside Jenkins. Sounds like win win to me, even with restructuring.
Article I posted on Franks mentions that the Jets may just keep him and convert him to a DE...IF he restructures his contract. Probably not true but just saying it may get Cincinnati or Detroit worried and force them off the fence.
