Koren Robinson (WR), MIN - Released
September 11, 2005
News: Koren Robinson thought that he was set with a contract for at least two years, after the two-year deal he signed earlier in the week. However, on Saturday the Vikings released Robinson "temporarily," to ensure that they will not be obligated to pay him for the full year.
The NFL has a policy to protect veterans in the league. A player with four or more years in the league is guaranteed his full-year of base salary if he is on the opening day roster. Robinson will probably be resigned after the opener, so that if his off-field problems continue, the Vikings can release him and not owe him anything beyond what he played.
The Seattle Seahawks sent Robinson away in the off-season for the alcohol-related problems he was dealing with.
Views: There are four players, including Robinson, who have been temporarily released for the same reason. These players are Tennessee WR Troy Edwards, Steelers QB Charlie Batch, and Denver WR David Terrell. What does the move mean to these players? It means that they better get their act together and perform very well on the field, since nothing is guaranteed anymore.
