Oh, and Stroud…is also “staring an 8 game suspension in the face”.

DRob Sucks! He has never come close to being the player the Rogers or Jenkins is. Maybe you didn't notice last season that DRob got pushed all the field as other teams ran for 5yds a clip on us. I would take either of those guys in a heart beat. They would be considerable upgrades Bent,

He's another big name DT with injury problems who didn't play very well last year. And yes, I think you are potentially looking at very marginal improvement should we move Robertson for Rogers or Jenkins or whomever. Expect the drumbeats for Marcus Stroud to be added to the list.

For financial reasons, the trades make sense, but is either of them going to be a massive upgrade over Robertson? No. However, there seems to be this myth that D-Rob is lazy and has poor levels of production, so I wonder whether an equivalent performance by his replacement would engender the same negativity amongst Jets fans or would the new guy not be judged on the same merits? If the trade did happen and Rogers (say) gets suspended again or Jenkins (say) gets injured again, they could be released with no cap consequences, so it is a lot less risky than signing a free agent to fill the role.

The top guards are usually not drafted before late in the first round - last year Ben Grubbs went as the first gard at the 29th pick - so if we are lucky a guy like Brandon Albert will still be there for us in round 2.
