Rashard Robinson among three waived by Jets

The Jets announced on Friday that they have waived three players, including cornerback Rashard Robinson.

Robinson was acquired at the trade deadline in 2017 from San Francisco for a fifth round pick. It was not a well-spent pick. The 49ers had given up on Robinson as a failed Draft pick. The Jets seemed to think they could turn his career around. They could not. He was benched during his first game in New York and saw only 2 more defensive snaps for the rest of 2017. He was arrested in December of 2017, which led to a four game suspension. He only saw 83 snaps on defense after his return. Any way you slice it this trade was a failure.

Coley and Tapper had very brief Jets careers. Both signed reserve/future contracts in January after ending the 2018 season without teams. Neither will even last long enough to make it to the start of their first Jets training camp.
