According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Media, the Jets will place a second-round restricted tender on WR Robby Anderson.
The second-round restricted tender is projected to be $3.1 million for the 2019 season.
It’s rare for a team to sign a restricted free agent and part with a second-round pick in the process, so this will likely lead to him returning to New York for the 2019 season.
Last year, Anderson’s name came up as a possible trade candidate leading up to the deadline, but the Jets elected to hold on to him.
Anderson, 25, wound up signing on with the Jets as an undrafted free agent out of Temple back in 2016. He played out the final year of his three-year, $1.62 million contract and made a base salary of $630,000 for the 2018 season.
Anderson will be an unrestricted free agent in 2020.
In 2018, Anderson appeared in 14 games for the Jets and caught 50 receptions for 752 yards and six touchdowns.
