Aldrick Robinson re-signs with Redskins
 

The Redskins have signed back one of their own, although there was no doubt that it was going to happen.

The team has signed wide receiver Aldrick Robinson to a one-year contract worth $570,000, according to NFL writer Brian McIntyre. The team’s sixth-round draft pick in 2011 was an exclusive rights free agent meaning that although his contract had expired the CBA doesn’t allow him to sign anywhere else.

Robinson spent most of his rookie year on the practice squad and he didn’t appear in a game. In the two years since he has been an occasional deep threat but the rest of his game hasn’t come along as well. For his career, Robinson has 29 receptions for 602 yards (20.8 yards/catch) and five touchdowns.

Happy with this, he seemed to come along towards the end of the year.

Re: Aldrick Robinson re-signs with Redskins
 

Yeah looking forward to seeing what this new staff can get out of him.

Re: Aldrick Robinson re-signs with Redskins
 

I like any contract that incentivizes the player to tear it up. DeAngelo Hall is a good example of what happens when you put players on a one-year, prove it type of deal. Robinson has a few tools to work with. I'm not saying he'll be a beast, but I like when contracts are set up to bring out the best. We'll see what he can do.

Re: Aldrick Robinson re-signs with Redskins
 

Nice cheap deal. I'm not a Robinson fan (unreliable hands) but I have no problem resigning a young guy with a potential upside to a short term cheap deal.

I am indeed interested in seeing what the New Staff can get out of a lot of guys......
Guys I thought should be better. Real tired of seeing some of our cast offs re-tread elsewhere to stardom

The NFL should be like the PGA, you get paid when you win. 100% commission league, unless you are Tiger and they pay you money in the Middle East just to show up!

Re: Aldrick Robinson re-signs with Redskins
 

Meh. Robinson appears to be a one-trick alligator. But it is a cheap deal and maybe this offseason he can learn to run better routes and catch the dang ball.

Re: Aldrick Robinson re-signs with Redskins
 

Just curious as you guys get seeing a lot more live coverage over there than I would, but in your opinions did he just not turn up on game days, or did the previous coaching staff simply feel he didn't bring enough to the table? Reason I ask is he was supposedly tearing it up in training camp last year, and I was hoping to hear of him having a similar impact when it mattered most. Instead he rarely got a mention.

Re: Aldrick Robinson re-signs with Redskins
 

He had a couple of solid games down the stretch and seemed to be on the upswing.

Re: Aldrick Robinson re-signs with Redskins
 

Was he ever tried in the kick return part?

Re: Aldrick Robinson re-signs with Redskins
 

If he ever developed a good set of hands, Robinson would be deadly! He's definitely a deep threat.

I agree.

I do think that he has gotten better at catching the ball in traffic on intermediate routes. Plus, there is still room for him to develop.

When he was actually used for anything other than fly routes he did a few things.

Re: Aldrick Robinson re-signs with Redskins
 

This is a good cheap move... He started playing well with more time at the end of the season... I hope he can develop into more than the occasional go route guy...

I dont know why they wouldn't try him there more.

I Think they did in Pre-Season about three years ago, but he had several fumbles so they scratched that idea or maybe I'm mistaking him for someone else.

Re: Aldrick Robinson re-signs with Redskins
 

Need somebody to stretch the field, and this is a good, inexpensive option. Robinson had a couple nice games when he finally got more game day snaps.

Nope, that was him. He also had trouble finding holes in the kick coverage.

Re: Aldrick Robinson re-signs with Redskins
 

I'm glad we resigned him. Certainly would hate for any other team to have him; first season after he signed elsewhere, that team would probably come here, and we'd get burned with a few of his 70-yard TD bombs.

Also, like others said, he's cheap and did play better near the end of the season.

Speed kills, bad hands ends careers.

Re: Aldrick Robinson re-signs with Redskins
 

Good re sign. AD needs to take it to the next level this year.

He's a one trick pony, hopefully he can develop we'll see

Re: Aldrick Robinson re-signs with Redskins
 

nothing wrong with this deal .. cheap and he does have a some promise .. I think we will all look back in one year and think highly of Gruden and what he has done with some of our guys

Re: Aldrick Robinson re-signs with Redskins
 

Robinson has big play making ability.....I am hoping that he can move up the depth chart over Hankerson who has been inconsistent for the past couple of years......
