The Green Bay Packers have announced the release of receiver Koren Robinson.
So now the question becomes whether any other NFL team is interested. The Bears have a definite need, and the Eagles — who run the same offense as the Packers and the Seahawks, with whom Robinson spent the first few years of his career — are always looking to add more bodies.
Robinson was the ninth overall pick in the 2001 draft. Problems with alcohol plagued his career, and the Seahawks finally cut him loose. He qualified for the Pro Bowl as a kick returner in 2005 with the Vikings, but a relapse (which resulted in a high-speed chase on rural roads in Minnesota) resulted in Robinson’s termination from the team during the 2006 preseason.
Another possibility is the Bengals, who need receivers and who don’t seem to care about a guy’s rap sheet. The Jags also are might be interested, given that assistant coach Mike Tice was the head coach in Minnesota when Robinson made it to Honolulu.
Other possibilities (in our estimation) include the Buccaneers, the Broncos, the Raiders, and, yes, the Cowboys.

He needs to go to meetings, and not drink in between them.

How could the Chiefs not be a possible landing place? Who’s their #2?

If he goes to the Edmonton Eskimos, he won’t have to change his wardrobe much. He’ll only get signed when the injury bug strikes.

I’m not so sure the Eagles would be interested in him. They have their KR now and Robinson just isn’t that good at WR at all. The fact that the Packers cut him definitely shows that.

“This was more a sign of how strong the receiving core is than anything else.”
That’s like saying if I got cut from the Packers receiving _corps_ it was a sign of how strong they are…give me a break.

He says he wants to stay out of trouble? That’s funny. And using the Pro Bowl as it is currently to evaluate a player is even funnier.

Koren Robinson is going to be a steal for some team…the guy has talent and can be productive. He has worked extremely hard to get his life back on track, and I wish nothing but the best for him.

Yo Koren,
I need you on my team, I need a deep threat, someone to work the middle, and watch my back when I drop the soap in the shower. Holla at ya boy!
Signed,
Mike Vick

Why must every questionable character be destined to be signed by Dallas? Taken directly from PFT, Dallas had ZERO turd points last year. They may have taken a chance on questionable characters in Tank and Pacman (and by the way, all things aside, TO is not a criminal), but they have a lot of solid character guys on their roster. So why is Dallas interested in all these guys? How bout Minnesota after trading the farm for multi DUI man Jared Allen, or Indy who has a supposed saint now in the middle of a shooting incident and just picked up a guy who last year had a DUI conviction? Tampa signing multiple time degenerate Jerramy Stevens? Stop associating the Cowboys for doing what the rest of the NFL is also doing. This is the modern pro sports scene. Teams (and not just Dallas contrary to what you may print) are willing to give degenerates 2nd, 3rd, and 4th chances. Give it a rest.

ron_mexico the Cowboys haven’t incurred so much as a single “turd point” since the inception of the “Turd Watch”. The last Dallas Cowboy player to be arrested was Marcus Coleman (DUI) in November of ‘06, and he was cut within hours. I believe the last guy before that was Peppi Zellner in February of ‘03, but charges were dismissed. This in spite of the notorious bone the local PD has for the Cowboys. In fact a Dallas cop
got busted for solicitation of capital murder back in the 90’s because he tried to have Michael Irvin killed.

“[The Cowboys] may have taken a chance on questionable characters in Tank and Pacman”
No, they took a chance on T.O. who was a questionable character based on his destructive behavior on other teams. Doing sit ups on your lawn and implying that Jeff Garcia was gay are scummy things to do, but certainly not criminal… Tank and Pacman are criminals, not just questionable characters. So when your squad brings in those two gentleman with a history of criminal behavior in the past year, you have to live with the fact that you’re the new raiders/bengals and will be linked to any other criminal who becomes available…
Anyway it’ll be interesting to see how Jerry Jones new “empty the jails” philosophy works out…

That’s not the point. Just about every team in the league has people on their roster convicted of some crime. Drug possession, DUI, or even worse. Take a look at some of these other “model” franchises…New England or Philly. NE DB Willie Andrews busted for possession with intent to distribute. Kevin Fault arrested for possession. Philly DT Mike Patterson busted for marijuana possession then drafting a guy with a pending felony. Washington signs Jerome Mathis after he’s arrested for choking his pregnant girlfriend! Why do these others get a free pass in the media eye whereas the Cowboys, Bengals, Raiders are scrutinized for employing these types? Contrary to the message this website sends out, there are other known teams in the league willing to give these criminals a 2nd, 3rd chance outside of Dallas, Oakland, and Cincinnati. Until every team in the league takes a stand on this issue, its asinine to single out a few franchises for employing turds.
