What will the Jets do with their NT Robertson?

 
Well, Mangini will likely release him, to free up cap space, and, because they will pretty much get nothing for him if a trade occurs. Maybe a 4th or 5th round pick. Thats like a baseball bat to me. The Jets are my 2nd favorite team behind the Colts. I assume they wont keep him after aquiring Kris Jenkins from Carolina in a steal of a trade. They gave up a 3 and a 5. Unless a team is in love with Robertson, they won't trade him. He was drafted in the 1st round in the '05 draft. If they keep him, they would put him as a backup for Jenkins because Mangini plays a 3-4. They took a crack at Alan Faneca in free agency making him the highest paid G in the NFL. So cap space would be nice. [link]
