The Facts: A league source tells us that the Green Bay Packers are planning to release Robinson. The move could come as soon as today. Per the source, the team initially gave Robinson an opportunity to line up a trade, but other teams apparently have opted to wait for him to be cut.
Diehards Line:After Green Bay used its first and last choices on wide receivers -- Jordy Nelson in the second round and Brett Swain in the seventh round -- Robinson's future with the Packers immediately became more tenuous. ... The team already has a pair of talented young wideouts in Greg Jennings and James Jones and Robinson has struggled to play up to the potential that led Seattle to select him ninth overall in 2001. He was was suspended for the start of last season, and was reinstated in October. From that point on, Robinson caught 21 passes for 241 yards and one touchdown. According to PFT, Robinson is signed through 2008, at a base salary of $730,000.
