Rams commerce WR Allen Robinson to Steelers pending bodily

Allen Robinson’s 12 months in Los Angeles taking part in for the Rams was one he’d most likely like to wipe from his reminiscence as quickly as humanly doable. Robinson may get his want very quickly, because it’s been reported by Adam Schefter of ESPN that the Pittsburgh Steelers are within the technique of buying the previous Professional Bowler by way of commerce from the Rams. This all hinges on Robinson passing a bodily, but when all is nice, the deal is about.

In the course of the 2022 marketing campaign, Robinson performed 10 video games for the Rams, catching simply 33 balls, and 339 receiving yards. That’s the worst manufacturing in Robinson’s profession when he’s suited up for at the very least 10 video games. Final 12 months was an total catastrophe for the Rams, with accidents everywhere in the roster, particularly on offense.

So, this potential commerce might be the very best factor for Robinson to clean the unhealthy style of his LA stint out of his mouth. Robinson was as soon as seen as one of many brightest younger stars at extensive receiver within the NFL, however practically a decade into his profession, his inventory has plummeted the previous couple of years. In the course of the 2020 season in Chicago, Robinson grabbed 102 catches for 1,250 yards. Previously two years mixed, he’s performed in 22 video games and caught 71 passes for 749 yards.

Like most gamers with star potential who fall off, Robinson has suffered a number of accidents of late. With the Rams, a foot fracture shortened Robinson’s season, and in ’21, it was a leg damage throughout his closing 12 months with the Bears. In his final 12 months in Jacksonville (2017), Robinson suffered an ACL tear within the season opener.

So, a contemporary begin in Pittsburgh might be what Robinson must return to being a productive receiver within the league. Being near 30 doubtless means the times of him catching 100-plus balls are over, however at this level, simply finishing a whole season with out severe damage is probably going the aim. The Steelers offense hasn’t been practically the very best these days, however including Robinson might at the very least add the specter of an enormous physique on the skin, particularly after transferring on from Chase Claypool final season.
