Set to replace injured Breece Hall for Gang Green
Sources: The Jets are making a big trade, acquiring Jaguars RB James Robinson to help replaced injured RB Breece Hall. Draft pick compensation is going back to the Jags. (NFL Network – Ian Rapoport)
Nerdy Football Analysis: The draft pick compensation is reportedly a conditional sixth-round pick that could turn into a fifth-rounder. Robinson’s departure makes it abundantly clear that Travis Etienne is the only show in time for now in Jacksonville. Meanwhile, Robinson’s arrival in New York figures to offset the loss of Breece Hall (ACL), although Robinson lacks the explosiveness of the rookie. Robinson should eventually see more volume than new backfield partner Michael Carter but will likely top out as a low-end RB2.
