The Los Angeles Rams added to their stacked receiver corps in free agency by signing veteran Allen Robinson to a three-year, $46.5 contract with $30.7 million guaranteed. It’s a great signing for team and player, and Robinson — who has had ghastly quarterback luck going back to his time at Penn State — now has his best quarterback ever.
Coming into 2021, Robinson was coming off back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons with Mitch Trubisky, Chase Daniel, and Nick Foles as his quarterbacks. No offense to any of those fine gentlemen, but Stafford is several levels above in traits and production, and when you watch both Robinson and the Rams’ passing game as separate entities, it’s easy to see why this is a great fit.
The defending Super Bowl champs already have Cooper Kupp, Van Jefferson, the underrated Robert Woods, tight end Tyler Higbee, and a group of running backs who can grab the ball out of the backfield for easy gains. What they did not have — even with the addition of current free agent Odell Beckham Jr. in the second half of the season — was a receiver who brings Robinsons specific attributes to the roster.
Let’s go to the tape, and see why Allen Robinson can make Sean McVay’s offense even more explosive in 2022 and beyond.
