Packers Sign Koren Robinson (1 Viewer)

Speculating here. But isn't this more of a favor by the Packers to allow Robinson to clear his suspension? It would seem most teams would not want to sign him because he has a 1 year suspension coming his way. But then if no team would sign him, he would never be able to work off his 1 year suspension.

The guys on the Milwaukee sports radio talk show stated that Koren's agent told them he received a 2 yr deal where the first year is no base salary, just signing bonus and year two is for the base salary. This could be wrong but it is what I heard on the radio.

Assuming KRob is able to play this season I would expect him to provide a major upgrade in the return game (which the Packers badly need) and disappoint yet another team as a WR. Maybe he'll become a decent No. 3 WR but it's more than clear by now that for all his talent Robinson simply isn't going to be the player his talent indicates he can be. I see no reason to believe anything will be different now that he is in Green Bay.

You're happy about getting Koren?

Not even close. What in my post would lead you to think that it was? I clearly said I think he'll fail as a WR. He could provide help in the return game, though, based on what he showed last season. But overall, I think it's a pure desperation move by a desperate team facing a long season.

We definitely need a return man. Robinson fits the bill. My expectations are minimal as far WR production. We can go 4 deep at wide out to stretch out defenses with more talent than we had.At the very least, I could be up at Oneida playing blackjack, yelling bartender...."2 REFILLS!"



FWIW..local press stated today he "looked good" in practice. I don't know if this was on the field action, or, a Gatorade slamming contest.
