3 teams that should sign Allen Robinson next offseason
By John Buhler
The New York Jets will want to give Zach Wilson the best chance to succeed
Let’s be real. The only way this thing is going to work in the Big Apple is if the New York Jets do everything in their power to make sure rookie quarterback Zach Wilson is a success story. It has been a decade since Mark Sanchez quarterbacked a defensive-minded football team to a pair of AFC Championship games while on his rookie contract. They must get Wilson some playmakers.
New York has the second most available cap space ahead of 2022 with over $80.9 million. Gang Green may have overpaid for former No. 5 overall pick in Corey Davis in his free agency, but the Jets still have Denzel Mims and Elijah Moore on rookie contracts. The former Baylor and Ole Miss standouts could be incredible in the NFL, but New York has to add a bona-fide No. 1 in Robinson.
Given that offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur will run an offensive scheme similar to his brother Matt’s in Green Bay, Robinson could slot in there and have another Pro Bowl season or two with the Jets before exiting his prime. However, no team deserves less benefit of the doubt than the Jets. They should be better in 2021, but it is next to impossible to be worse than a 2-14 record.
If Wilson has a strong first year with the Jets, then Robinson maybe considers going to New York.
