The Facts:
Following up on the
ongoing story. ... The Cowboys didn't see Robinson coming last summer, but thanks to Miles Austin's hamstrings and the speed with which he and Tony Romo developed a red zone rapport, Robinson became an important part of Dallas' offense. Now, he's an unrestricted free agent, and the team faces a difficult decision on what to do about him. In the third installment of their position-by-position look at the Cowboys, ESPNDallas.com tackles the wide receivers. Bryan Broaddus acknowledges Robinson's contribution but "would not be surprised if the front office allows Robinson to walk."

Broaddus wrote: "He's made it clear that he wants to return to Valley Ranch and has indicated that the Cowboys wouldn't necessarily have to be the top bidders to keep him. What the Cowboys would be willing to pay for a No. 3 receiver who has proven he can be a quality fill-in starter isn't clear. If the Cowboys don't re-sign Robinson, they'll need to find another third receiver, whether it's in the draft or another free-agency bargain. ..." Robinson, who was signed in early September after being cut by the Chargers, ended up being the Cowboys' most effective receiver. It took an injury to Austin and ineffectiveness by Kevin Ogletree for Robinson to get a significant role, but he led the Cowboys with 11 touchdown catches and was second among the team's wideouts in catches (54) and receiving yards (858).
