The long talk about trading defensive lineman Dewayne Robertson was finally completed. On April 24, 2008, Robertson was drafted to the Denver Broncos for the 2009 NFL Draft. The pick is contingent on Robertson’s playing time this season though. The Denver’s and the Jet’s have different defense setups. Denver plays a 4-3 defense and the Jet’s have a 3-4 scheme. It is said that Robertson will fit better with the Denver defense. The Jet’s figure to get back at least a third-round picks. Robertson was due to earn 9.8 million this season including an extra 3 million roster bonus in June. All together he was supposed to receive 11.19 million for the year. The Jet’s are only saving 8.4 million this season. The Broncos though have a concern with Robertson. They were worried about his knees. The Broncos were close to trading him in mid-March but stalled when their manager was fired. Ted Sundquist was fired on March 12th. Sunquist was the main man in the works with the Jets. The Broncos restructured Robertsons contracts but the terms of the deals are unavailable.
