Gets reserve/future deal with NO
The Saints signed Robinson due to a reserve/future contract Monday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Robinson is a four-year veteran with 2,264 career regular-season rushing yards to his name, though nearly half of those came in his rookie season in 2020. An Achilles tear suffered in Week 16 of 2021 derailed his once-promising career, and the Illinois State product has played in only 12 games over the past two seasons, spending almost all of 2023 on Green Bay's practice squad. Robinson joined New Orleans' practice squad in mid-December, and the organization apparently liked what they saw from him enough to want to give him a shot at making the roster next year, though it remains to be seen how much Robinson has left in the tank.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Gets look from Green Bay
Robinson worked out for the Packers on Monday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Green Bay's lack of reliable depth in the backfield behind Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon got exposed while Jones was hurt in Weeks 2 and 3, so Robinson may not be the only free-agent running back the team brings in for a look. The 25-year-old played 11 games last season split between the Jaguars and Jets, scoring three touchdowns and averaging 3.9 yards per carry.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2021
2020
Robinson had 263 scrimmage yards and four touchdowns in the first three games last year, which made for a triumphant return from the Achilles' tear he suffered Week 16 of 2021. But perhaps he returned a little too soon. After starting fast, Robinson produced just 113 yards over a four-week stretch before the Jaguars traded him to the Jets for a fifth-round pick. Robinson promptly appeared on the injury report with a knee injury after one week with the team, then suddenly seemed unable to run, producing just 90 yards and a score on 31 touches in four active games with the Jets while being inactive for six games. In March, the Patriots signed him to a two-year contract, but only $150,000 was guaranteed and they later released him in June. While he should get another chance elsewhere, it's not a great sign that the Patriots cut ties after seeing him practice for a couple weeks this spring.
