Robertson Deal Bombs
T-Rock's Tackle:
"As you might have guessed just by the amount of time this thing is taking, the trade talks between the Jets and Broncos are starting to peter out. They're not RIP yet and could be resumed at any time, but nothing seems imminent. Why? A couple reasons from what I'm hearing out west. First of all, Robertson did fail his physical with the Broncos, but the team was willing to overlook the medical evidence based on the fact that Robertson hasn't missed any games the last few years. They were also willing to overlook it because they are a bit desperate for defensive line help. The other reason is money."
Well this is not the news that we were hoping to hear. Now that you can't even give this guy away the Jets may just have to cut him. There was some noise about them thinking about bringing him back for the season, but he we need to re work his deal and if he is not willing to do so with the Broncos(to a reasonable price) why would he for the Jets? Right now there is the best chance they release him from the team.
