Jets’ James Robinson Not Happy With Being Benched Last Week

When Jets running back James Robinson was traded to New York, he expected to play a significant role on his new team. Instead, he has found himself manning the bench.

“Obviously, I didn’t come here not to play,” Robinson told ESPN on Wednesday. “Obviously, they brought me here for a reason. I don’t expect anything unless I work for it, and I’ve been working my a-- off. Me not playing pisses me off.”

New York traded for Robinson on Oct. 24 and sent a 2023 conditional sixth-round pick to the Jaguars one day after losing starter Breece Hall to a season-ending knee injury.
