Similar to Brandon Stephens \u2013 whom Glenn identified and helped turn into a productive contributor in 2025 \u2013 Robertson enjoyed a career year in 2024, earning a 63.3 defensive grade from Pro Football Focus,\u201d Hughes <a href=\"https:\/\/sny.tv\/articles\/5-free-agents-jets-target-2026-offseason\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:wrote;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">wrote<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>Per Hughes, the Jets like the guys on their roster, but there should never be a time when this team doesn\u2019t look to add more talent.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Jets view Stephens as a potential starter next season and are high on Jarvis Brownlee in the nickel role.
