FLORHAM PARK, NJ — Striking quickly to fill a sudden void in their backfield, the New York Jets agreed to acquire running back James Robinson in a trade with the Jacksonville Jaguars, sources confirmed to ESPN on Monday night.<\/p>\n

The Jets will send a 2023 conditional sixth-round pick to the Jaguars, which becomes a fifth-rounder if Robinson rushes for 600 yards this season, a source told ESPN’s Adam Schefter. He already has 340 yards.<\/p>\n

After losing standout rookie Breece Hall to a season-ending knee injury on Sunday, and with the Nov. 1 trade deadline approaching, Jets general manager Joe Douglas scoured the market for a replacement. Robinson, one of the league’s top success stories only two years ago, lost his starting job recently and became expendable.<\/p>\n

The Jets (5-2), off to their best start since 2010, can use Robinson and Michael Carter as a 1-2 punch. They’re 4-0 since shifting to a ground-oriented attack, and Robinson — known to be a high-volume back — should allow them to continue with that style. They also have Ty Johnson.<\/p>\n
