New York Jets: 2018 Offseason predictions, 7-round mock draft, Vol. 2.0

Cut: Robby Anderson

Frankly this is a sad story that needs to end quickly, before it’s too late for the Jets. For the second consecutive offseason, Anderson got in trouble with the law, and this time it’s much more serious than the incident in Florida involving the police officer at the concert in 2017.

He was caught fleeing police at 155 miles per hour. He was charged with nine counts including two felonies. According to Travis Durkee of The Sporting News the counts are as follows:

"Felony fleeing and eluding police with lights and sirens active Felony threatening a public servant or family member Misdemeanor resisting arrest without violence Misdemeanor reckless driving Failure to drive in a single lane Disobeying/avoiding a red light Disobeying/avoiding a red light (second count) Exceeding speed limit by 50 mph or more Turning when unsafe/without signaling"

The worst part of this was that police officer felt the need to include the danger to his family in the police report, even though Anderson’s lawyer steadfastly denies the claim, according to Pro Football Talk:

"It doesn’t fit the statutory charge people get with a crime like that. Adrenaline was flying on both sides. Robby never threatened to rape anybody. The statutory requirements are not there."

Frankly, the whole situation smells like the Sheldon Richardson situation, and the Jets need to learn from their mistake and let him go as soon as possible. This move is purely out of the off the field issues concerning Anderson, because the Jets only save $630,000 by cutting him, even though that’s the majority of his contract.
