Laurent Robinson doesn’t get deal from Jets, heads to New England next
By Mike Dyce
Laurent Robinson is looking for a new team after the Jacksonville Jaguars released him after one year of a 5 year deal. Laurent Robinson worked out for the New York Jets today. However, the Jets have let Laurent Robinson leave without a deal. He will work out for the New England Patriots Tuesday before making a trip to Detroit Wednesday.
The Patriots desperately need targets for Tom Brady. The Patriots are without their 5 leading receivers from last season when the September comes around. The only player on that list still on their roster is tight end Rob Gronkowski who is recovering from an injury.
Robinson was released after he suffered 4 concussions during the 2012 season in Jacksonville Jaguars. There could be some concerns about his long term health but he has decided to continue playing.
