Koren Robinson Out: Not A Big Shocker » Brats & Beer

The writing was on the wall when Ted Thompson selected Jordy Nelson first in the draft that either Koren Robinson or Ruvell Martin would probably be on the short list to be cut from the Packers roster. Today that list got shorter: Robinson has been released.

Robinson is 28 now, which doesn’t seem over-the-hill old but his best years are obviously behind him due to a lingering knee injury. TT brought him in during 2006 to help out on kick returns, but Robinson never performed up to his Pro Bowl expectations, and as a wide receiver he was just adequate with 21 catches for 241 yards in nine games last year.

That doesn’t mean Robinson won’t find employment somewhere in the league, as the past two seasons in Green Bay have probably helped rehabilitate his image in the league. As far as I can tell, he was a model citizen and a good teammate while a Packer, so someone will probably be willing to take a chance on him.
