    The Jets are signing ex-Saints RB Khiry Robinson, per sources. Potentially nice piece to pair with fellow newcomer Matt Forte.

    What?

    This is huge!!!!! If you haven't seen him play look him up right now!! He's a perfect complement to Powell/Forte and before the injury last year was pushing Ingram for carries. Gets compared to Ivory a lot.

    A poor man’s Chris Ivory to replace a poor man’s Marshawn Lynch at a fraction of the cost. That’s how it’s done

    In all seriousness this offense is perfect for Fitz right now. 2 huge receivers, 2 pass catching 3 down backs, an Ivory replacement. He has to be licking his chops.

    He had a nasty break in his leg late last year. He was going off prior to that. Huge dual threat that is essentially a cheaper Ivory. Hopefully we can bring Powell back. I can't see it though. I still see us looking for a RB in round 3 or 4. There should be some good value there.

    3 receiving threats at RB?

    Robinson is a very solid number 3. Leaps and bounds better than Ridley was.

    Holy smokes! I like this kid. Looks like a great signing.

    I can't believe that Mac signed 3 FA RBs!!!! I hope this doesn't mean that he thinks the OL is ok.
