Jets Trading Dewayne Robertson to Eagles?

In 2003, Dewayne Robertson was a defensive line prospect from Kentucky and the subject of a major pre-draft trade, as the Jets moved up to the fourth overall pick to add a player they thought would be one of the league's elite defensive tackles.

It hasn't worked out that way, and it's now time for the Jets to cut their losses with Robertson. The only question is whether they can get anything for him in a trade, and it's now looking like another pre-draft trade involving Robertson is a possibility, this time sending him to the Eagles.

Robertson visited the Eagles' facilities to take a physical, which the Jets likely wouldn't have approved unless the teams have worked out the basic structure of a deal that would send a draft pick or two to New York in exchange for Robertson. The only question is whether the Eagles and Robertson can agree on a contract. If that can happen within the next week, Robertson will be an Eagle and the Jets will have a couple more second-day picks.
