Adam Schefter of NFL Network is reporting that after months of trying, the Jets have finally found a trading partner for defensive tackle Dewayne Robertson, sending him to the Broncos for a conditional 2009 draft pick.

Robertson, who was the fourth overall pick of the 2003 draft, was hard to trade because his current contract calls for him to make $8 million this year. The Broncos will, one would assume, restructure Robertson's contract to lessen his cap hit.

The 6-foot-1, 310-pound Robertson is a talented athlete who showed flashes of the talent that made him a high draft pick, but he was never nearly as productive as the Jets thought he'd be when they drafted him, and he was a bad fit for the 3-4 defense that Jets coach Eric Mangini prefers.

In Denver, Robertson should be a better fit for the defensive scheme, and he's expected to earn a spot in the starting lineup from Day 1.
