New York Jets Running Back Will Now Officially Become A Free Agent

The New York Jets have been making some solid moves for a number of years now, and while the success on the field seems to be coming, one move that didn't work out for them in 2022 was the acquisition of running back James Robinson from the Jacksonville Jaguars following the injury to Breece Hall.

With Hall expected back early in 2023, as well as having Michael Carter and Bam Knight on the roster, the Jets are covered at the running back position, and now they have officially not tendered Robinson, and he will head to free agency next week.

Update: #Jets are making RB James Robinson a free-agent, per @JFowlerESPN.

He will not be tendered by the team.

Robinson is still just 24-years of age, and clearly has a bright future in the NFL, and if he can land in the right position, he can still be the star that many expect.
