Expanded Role for Darryl Roberts in 2019?

News of the Jets retaining cornerback Darryl Roberts earlier this week came as little surprise to Jets fans as the 3-year veteran was enjoying his best season as a pro before former head coach Todd Bowles moved him over to play safety in the second half of the season.

What may have come as a surprise were the terms of the deal as it is now being reported by Darryl Slater of NJ Advanced Media that Roberts signed a 3-year/$21 million pact. It’s a pay raise that certainly means the Jets are expecting Roberts to be more than just a spot starter.
