Laurent Robinson could be a Jaguar soon. Stay tuned.

After an up and down career with the Falcons and Rams, Robinson broke out with 54 catches for 858 and 11 TDs in 14 games for the Cowboys in 2011.

Robinson and Mario Manningham were considered the top two receivers left on the market and the Jaguars desperately needed one.

Hopefully he can be that big play, 1000 yard, 8-10 TD guy we desperately need. With Mularkey and our OC coming from Atlanta, maybe a poor man's Roddy White Very Happy .

Sounds okay to me.

#1- who knows? grab them at the draft hopefully.
#2- Robinson. big play stretch the field guy.
#3- Thomas. slot guy, work in whatever space Robinson can create stretching the field vertically.
#4- someone out of Gene's collection of spare part projects grabs the bull by the horns hopefully? or grab a second high end prospect at the draft?

If that #1 type guy we go after at the draft has decent size and possesion skills, we're not in terrible shape at WR. Nothing to jump up and down about, but i can see where Robinson would fit in something like that and i don't mind it at all.

Old and false news.
He's at dinner with some people from the Jags organization right now, but he's been away from the table on the phone for about 10 minutes.

5 years 32.5M

Wonder what the base and guarantees are, how much is incentives

However, 6.5M isnt that bad considering Garcon got 8+

I'm far from thrilled about this but what could we really expect after what Washington gave Garcon?

He is a big improvement over what we had though.
