Ugh. Another overpaid wide receiver. The only wide receiver who has been paid fairly this offseason was Marques Colston and maybe Vincent Jackson (Steve Johnson before free agency too). Laurent Robinson got 5 years, 32.5 million, with 14 million guaranteed. That’s barely less than Marques Colston (5 years, 40 million, with 19 million guaranteed).
Robinson had just 89 catches in 4 seasons before a breakout season in a contract year in Dallas last season, catching 54 passes for 858 yards and 11 touchdowns. He’s a one year wonder and that one year came in a contract year, which is always fishy. It’s also fishy that he chased money to go Jacksonville, where he won’t win or put up stats with Blaine Gabbert. Finally, wide receivers are always a risk changing teams in the offseason.
