Agent: Vikings reach deal with WR Koren Robinson
Judd Zulgad and Kevin Seifert, Star Tribune
The agent for Koren Robinson said today that the wide receiver has reached an agreement in principle on a two-year contract with the Vikings.
Alvin Keels refused to give any financial details of the contract, but said he expects it to be signed Tuesday.
Keels said Robinson, the former Seattle Seahawks first-round draft pick, won't play in Sunday's regular-season opener against Tampa Bay, but he should be ready for Week 2, when the Vikings travel to Cincinnati.
Robinson, 25, sought treatment this summer for alcoholism and has a Sept. 14 court date stemming from a drunken driving conviction.
He was selected ninth overall by Seattle in the 2001 draft. His best season came in 2002, when he caught 78 passes for 1,240 yards. But the Seahawks released him in June after several off-field incidents, the latest a drunken driving stop in May in which he registered a blood-alcohol content of 0.19.
Robinson pleaded guilty July 18 and was sentenced to one day in jail with 364 days suspended, but the case was reopened when officers smelled alcohol on his breath when he arrived to serve his day in jail.
