Puzzling trade for Rashard Robinson backfires on Jets

New York Jets general manager Mike Maccagnan usually has a winning touch when it comes to acquiring veteran players in trades, but he really blew it with Rashard Robinson.

On Tuesday, the trade went from bad to embarrassing, with the Associated Press reporting the second-year cornerback was arrested last month for allegedly possessing marijuana-laced candy.

Maybe that explains why he was a healthy scratch for the final two games.

Maccagnan took a chance on Robinson, knowing he had a history of off-the-field problems.
