SIGN HIM!!!!!

Just kidding, he's a moron. We already have a WR on our team in the press, no need for another.

Someone will, too much talent to be out of the league...

(no this is not an endorsement of his off field actions...)

I agree, to much talent to ignore.

If he doesn't fetch slammer time, I'd be game for trying him out. I only say this because he seems set on fixing himself. Everything that has come out of the media appears that he is genuinely trying to cure his alcoholism. Now, it's one thing what people say, and what they do, but he doesn't come across as a Derek Ross, Lawrence Phillips, punk type who just doesn't care. Some people will never cure their addictions, but if there's anyone who can stop, I'd have to believe he's a favorite. He'll be a cheap talented wideout. Always willing to take a chance on him if the 5th or 6th guy is borderline practice squad material and we already have the special teamers.

Talented or not, he's not likely to get many looks from any teams under the circumstances.

From the Star Tribune Vikings blog:

Receiver Koren Robinson’s tenure with the Vikings ended today. Robinson was one of eight players released. Teams must cut their rosters to 75 players by Tuesday afternoon.

Expected to be the team’s No. 1 receiver, Robinson was cut 11 days after leading police on a high-speed chase and being arrested in Mankato, Minn. Robinson also was cited with two counts of fourth-degree drunken driving as well as three other misdemeanors.

Robinson was attempting to return to the Vikings’ training camp in Mankato before an 11 p.m. curfew on Aug. 15 after a day off. He was clocked going 104 miles an hour by St. Peter police at 10:46 p.m. Authorities attempted to pull him over, thus beginning a 15-mile chase down Hwy. 169 toward Mankato.

Mankato police finally stopped Robinson’s 2003 BMW about two blocks from the Vikings’ dorm at Minnesota State, Mankato.

He had a blood alcohol level of 0.09 at the Nicollet County Sheriff’s Office in St. Peter and spent about 15 hours in jail before posting $50,000 bail. Robinson has an Oct. 17 court date scheduled.

Robinson’s arrest means he could face legal trouble in the state of Washington — where he already was on probation — as well as in Nicollet County. He also could be looking at a yearlong suspension for violating the NFL’s substance-abuse policy. That is because Robinson already is a “Stage 3” member of the league’s substance-abuse policy.

He served a four-game NFL suspension in 2005 for substance-abuse violations while playing for Seattle. The Seahawks released him after he was arrested for drunken driving in May 2005.

Robinson, who signed with the Vikings last September after he completed rehab treatment in South Carolina, could file a grievance against the team.
Other Vikings cuts Saturday included offensive tackle Sean Bubin; defensive tackle Manase Hopoi; receiver Aaron Hosack; fullback Brandon Jones; linebacker Marcus Lawrence; safety Ahmad Treaudo; and offensive guard Mark Wilson.

Are you Koren or his agent????:confused:

He's facing jail for probation violation, jail for his arrest in Minny, and a one year NFL suspension. Any owner who signs him again should have their franchise revoked.

Nah, like I said, assuming he doesn't get slammer time, he's worth a shot. Yeah, if the sentence is up in the air, I definitely avoid him. My post is referring more so to next year rather than this year.

How does a guy with two posts get banned? Just wondering.:confused:
Click to expand...

because he already has a username, he said this one here was for at work, and per the guidlines, you can't have more than 1 username, thus he was banned and I'm assuming is allowed to stay, but only under his 1st one
