Could WR Laurent Robinson return to the Cowboys?*Merged*

[Plankton]

If Robinson is still experiencing dizziness when working out, then he needs to retire. The Cowboys shouldn't even consider signing him if this is the case.

 

[Doomsay]

He was only good cause he wasn't covered like Dez, Miles, & Witten
when he was the #1 in Jax he did nothing, I'd like to see him signed though for cap friendly deal.

An oversimplification, plus, he's not being brought in to be a #1 here. Laurent figured out how to get open in multiple coverage schemes - and was especially effective when Romo was scrambling, came back to the ball well and was generally on the same page as his QB from the start.

I like him - and he and Tony had good chemistry. But, he needs to retire. He has to sit in the dark like 90% of the day - he can't be around his kids if they're crying/loud. The game just isn't that important.

Does anyone read anymore? That was months ago. Now he can work out and he says he was lightheaded afterwards. He's not 100% yet but the symptoms are going away.

Doesn't hurt to take a look see for say.... the minimum. He is already getting paid 14 mill for nada.

If he IS having all those sypmptoms, I agree and think he should hang em up. Not worth it and he already had his big pay day.

Do I read every update about Laurent Robinson? No. But it was only six weeks ago that he had to sit in total darkness and quiet.

I don't care if he's "healed." He had four concussions in seven games. And concussions put him in that situation, and more will do the same. Not even 30 and has already felt massive effects of continual head trauma -- it's not worth it.

Ernie Sims has had more problems with concussions than Robinson. If they want to play it's their decision to play not yours.

We will have a good read on things from now til July & if his health has turned around, then this move would be a no brainer.

Ah dang, you're right. Here I was thinking that I was going to be making the actual final health decisions on the players, as opposed to just giving my opinion on it. Thanks for setting me straight before I started faxing in my game day lineups.

I liked Laurent a lot after the season he had for us. I started liking him before his big catches started when the first game or two he played for team, the TV panned over to him standing on the bench waving a towel to pump up the crowd. I did not expect him to do as well as he did, but it was a pleasant surprise to get more than you expect from a free agent player for a change.

That said, I was not sad to see him leave simply because I did not believe him to be worth what I knew FA would pay him. I don't fault him for leaving for a big contract as I think most of us would have done the same, but he left and we moved on. With his concussions becoming a big problem, the emergence of Harris and Dez making remarkable strides in his game means Laurent would likely not have the same opportunities he had when he was filling in as the #2 or #3 receiver.

I don't think signing him would be bad as long as we did it cheaply, but I would not expect him to be the same player he was for us two years ago.

/reality

With Austin and his hammies we need someone like robinson. I keep hearing people talking about the emergence of Harris but I certainly saw NOTHING in comparison with what robinson did.

Faxing? You and Dumerville's agent might be the only two people left in the US still using a fax.

I'd go with Harris as my first choice over Robinson. Harris has more potential, can return, and is cheaper.

I'd go with Darius Heyward-Bay (if he's still available) as a second choice over Robinson.

How many TDs did Harris score vs what Robinson did in 2012?

how many times did Robinson bail out romo when he was on the run- vs Harris?

You're assuming Robinson will be healthy, which doesn't look too promising right now. I'd go with Hayward-Bey.

Has Danario Alexander signed with anybody yet?

I am saying bring the guy in and take a good hard look.
But to claim its better to not even look and depend on Harris who has not shown a tenth of what Robinson ALREADY has is dumb
