Bye-bye, Robby

One of the biggest losses of the offseason was the departure of Robby Anderson, who signed with the Panthers in free agency. Darnold lost his top target over his first two seasons and the Jets’ best deep-threat on offense. 

“You know me and Robby had a really good connection over the years,” Darnold said. “He had gotten a lot better at running routes, as time went on. Some things just didn’t line up. It is what it is.”

Darnold isn’t worried about not having Anderson around, though. The team added Perriman and Mims at wide receiver to go along with Le’Veon Bell and Gore in the backfield and should see a healthy Chris Herndon at tight end.

“With the weapons that we have now, we’re looking… for good production from our wide receivers, running backs, etc.”
