Patrick Robinson deal put on hold **Update: Signs with Colts**

[Carson]

Horse crap. New agent, wanted more money, went and got it. End

 

[canters]

Used us to get more $ from the Colts?

 

[Alexander]

I will be hopeful we allocate those dollars somewhere else which gives us leverage to cut or restructure Carr.

Nothing more. Nothing less.

So what would provide that leverage? Signing a player at a different position?

Might be time to come to grips with the idea that Carr might be around to taunt you with his presence.

Bringing back Carr would be disastrous.

 

[Bleu Star]

Screw it. Let's reup Carr and Hardy. Keep the ol gang together. Why not? [/SARCASM]

The very quote you provided from PFF called him "top third". Where is the list you're using?

[Qbert]

What exactly does he think an agent does?

 

[Alexander]

We will never know that. Might hear conjecture, but it will never get out there that we A) lowballed him or B) couldn't give him the assurances he probably wanted.

Right now, he is basically a starter in Indianapolis barring them taking a CB with their first choice.

Even if he signed a cheap contract, he probably has a lot more incentives built in that we could not necessarily assure him were attainable.

All in all, I do not view it as a real loss, other than the Carr thing. But they have had the opportunity to change that since the season ended and deliberately chose not to do so.

This is what I was going to suggest, but it doesn't take into account the agent fiasco. The deal with the agent would seem to back up his statement of something illegitimate happening. Either that, or he used firing the guy to get out of the deal and then scapegoated him.

 

[Risen Star]

If he ever commits a crime they will refer to him as almost Cowboy Patrick Robinson.

It would be absolute poetic justice if they drafted Hargreaves or Alexander.

The list is not

There is no way to see what that list is sorted by. That list is also from December, where as the quote I posted is from two days ago.

Robinson played 713 snaps last season and was our 30th-highest-graded corner.

hmmm I was told Amukamara and Mo were essentially the same. Not that I needed pff to confirm that bs

I don't follow.

I don't follow.

I'm hangry and rueing (mostly). I think he went to the Colts for the guaranteed starter job, so if they selected Hargreaves or Alexander (both of which could/would be better) he might get bounced anyway.

Well that was fun, who are we going to bring in for a visit next? Oh wait, it doesnt matter.

How were you able to post the list I can't get it to post the first section which show Norman as number 1 and Robinson 16th?

Also, if you believe Robinson is better than Hayward, Revis, Sean Smith and Trumain Johnson, you may need to step away for a few.
