Savage Beatings Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 He is still technically on the team, but that is pretty much just to protect the team from the Player's Association. He has been excused indefinitely from team practices and WILL NOT be a part of the Vikings WR Corps this season. There has not been any official announcement to that effect (again to protect the team for now) but trust me that this is the case. Even if the NFL somehow does not suspend Robinson for the year, there's just no way that Childress will take any more chances with him this year. What is most likely to happen is this... while the legal case against Robinson is pending nobody from the NFL or the Vikings will say a word about his status. Once the case is resolved, the NFL will suspend him for a year, and then at the end of that year long suspension, the Vikigns will release him.

Randall Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Since he was in treatment when arrested he can be suspended at any time, before being convicted of anything, for breaching rules of treatment. The league legally doesn't have to wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

godtomsatan Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 He came back to Seattle for a court appearance this week for violating the terms of his probabtion from the last time he was arrested. No word on whether he showed up to the hearing drunk like he did last time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruffian Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 I do believe it is time funding is cut for the Koren Robinson reclamation project. He needs to dry out, and he needs to get the hell outta football until he can get himself in order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
