The New York Jets announced the signing of linebacker Edmond Robinson on Friday, waiving receiver Matt Cole in the process.
Robinson, 29, has partaken in 35 NFL regular season games since entering the league as a seventh-round pick of the Minnesota Vikings in 2015 out of Division II Newberry. That includes a single game with the Jets in 2017 when he partook in special teams endeavors in the team’s opening weekend tilt in Buffalo.
More recently, Robinson appeared in 13 games with the Atlanta Falcons last season, earning a career-best 15 tackles. His return to New York also reunites him with defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich, who moved to the Jets from Atlanta last year.
