Jets have hole at WR as Robby Anderson leaves for Panthers

The Jets lost one of Sam Darnold’s best weapons.

Wide receiver Robby Anderson is signing with the Carolina Panthers, according to multiple reports. He reportedly received a two-year, $20 million contract from Carolina, with $12 million guaranteed in the first year.

The Jets wanted Anderson back and he said before the start of free agency that he wanted to return. Anderson said he felt there was “unfinished business” with the Jets. It’s finished now.

Anderson’s contract doesn’t seem that outrageous because the 2020 guarantee was what many projected Anderson would get in this market. But general manager Joe Douglas apparently felt otherwise.
