NY Jets lose out on Robby Anderson as he reunites with Matt Rhule

The NY Jets wanted to bring back Robby Anderson, but only at the right price. It seems as though that price was lower than two years, $20 million because that’s all it took for the speedy wideout to agree to a deal with the Carolina Panthers.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter has reported that Anderson’s deal is worth $20 million and that he will make $12 million in the first season of this front-loaded deal. But the real reason for his departure might have more to do with who his new coach is.

Anderson was reportedly convinced to sign with Carolina because he wanted to reunite with his former college coach, Matt Rhule.
