Robby Anderson Leaves Jets for Panthers

Adios Robby, we hardly knew ye!

Former Jets wide receiver Robby Anderson is leaving the Big Apple for the Carolina Panthers, agreeing to a two-year, $20 million contract that includes $12 million in the first year of the deal.

Anderson reunites with Matt Rhule who was his head coach at Temple. Oddly who knows who will be throwing the ball to it. It could either be PJ Walker, or Teddy Bridgewater, or whomever the Panthers decide to draft next month.

While Anderson was a lateral threat for the Jets and quarterback Sam Darnold, he is replaceable, and it was hard to understand the hype around him. Anderson never amassed 1,000 yards in a season, and was widely inconsistent. At times he would make big plays and there were times he would disappear.

Perhaps the best play of Anderson's Jets career was the 92-yard touchdown catch he had against the Cowboys last season.

With Anderson out of the picture, the Jets can look to the draft to find a top flight receiver. There will be plenty. From CeeDee Lamb to Jerry Jeudy. The Jets are going to have their pick of some good talent. They can replace Anderson. This is not a loss Jets fans should fret.
