Jets’ Robby Anderson Signs Tender

Jets wide receiver Robby Anderson has signed his restricted free agent tender, according to Field Yates of ESPN.com (on Twitter). That leaves Anderson with a one-year, $3.095MM deal for the 2019 season and leaves the Rams’ Cory Littleton and Troy Hill as the league’s only unsigned RFAs. 

Anderson was eyeing a long-term deal, but he had little recourse at this juncture of the offseason. April 19 was the deadline for players to sign offer sheets with other teams, leaving the wide receiver with two options: sign or stay home.

Anderson has led the Jets in receiving yards in the last two seasons and boasts a career average of 14.7 yards per grab. Last year’s 50/752/6 stat line showed promise, though the Jets may have some pause about his off-the-field antics.

Meanwhile, he’ll have to impress a new front office regime, which may actually work to his benefit.
