Jets acquire RB James Robinson from Jags
Young running back James Robinson has not been involved in the Jacksonville Jaguars’ offense too much this season despite the former undrafted free agent having performed at a high level in his first two seasons with the team.
With roughly a week to go ahead of the NFL trade deadline, he will now be calling another city home moving forward.
According to NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport, Robinson has been dealt to the New York Jets.
This move comes after New York lost stud rookie running back Breece Hall for the remainder of the season due to a torn ACL he suffered Sunday afternoon against the Denver Broncos. Talk about general manager Joe Douglas being quick to work the phones.
Rapoport added that Jacksonville is receiving a conditional sixth-round pick in the James Robinson blockbuster. It could end up being a fifth-round selection depending on what the running back does with the Jets.
