Demarcus Robinson stays in the NFC West
Demarcus Robinson is reportedly staying in the NFC West, but signing with the Rams’ rival San Francisco 49ers on a 2-year $9.5 million deal. After L.A. made moves to keep Tutu Atwell and then add Davante Adams, it seemed there may not be room for Robinson, but his departure wasn’t a sure thing.
Now, Robinson’s exit is assured as he moves from Sean McVay and Matthew Stafford to Kyle Shanahan and Brock Purdy.
Robinson has been around the league. Drafted by the Kansas City Chiefs in 2016. He then played with Baltimore Ravens, Rams and now presumably the 49ers. If nothing else, he’s shown that he belongs at the NFL level, and in the right system he can be a solid starter.
Robinson proved himself to be sure handed with Stafford, why can’t he do something similar for Purdy?
Robinson has yet to top 1,000 yards in a season, but maybe he’ll get the chance in the Bay Area as the 49ers look to find new players to rely on.
For the Rams they’ll be thankful for Robinson’s contributions, but they are also looking to set themselves up so they do not miss him. With Cooper Kupp also likely to be off the roster, there could be more opportunity for someone to step up or for another player to be added.
