Medal of Honor Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 (edited) Edit: It's Official http://blog.seattletimes.nwsource.com/seah...ndex.html#32195 Koren Robinson's agent just confirmed Koren Robinson has signed with the Seahawks. It's believed to be a one-year deal with the Seahawks, returning him to the team that first drafted him into the NFL in 2001. Robinson’s breakout season in 2002 when he caught 78 passes for 1,240 yards followed by two years in which his production plummeted and finally 2004 when he was suspended four games by the league, benched one game by his coached and released by the Seahawks that offseason after being arrested for DUI. He was arrested again in Minnesota the following year and suspended by the NFL for a year, but has not had any incidents in the two years since. Robinson’s addition comes after injuries have decimated the wide receiver position. Bobby Engram, the top returning receiver from last season, is out with a broken shoulder, Deion Branch still isn’t back from offseason knee surgery and Nate Burleson, Logan Payne and Ben Obomanu have been lost to season-ending injuries. Enter Robinson, who played with the Packers last season and caught 21 passes. He made the Pro Bowl in 2005 with the Vikings as a returner so he could factor into the Seahawks punt return team.

The Waterboy Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 1240 yards in 2002. He's still only 28 years old. This would be a nice story if he could get another shot and turn the corner. Thank you for posting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 He does have knee issues too. That said I'm surprised someone hasn't done this already at least as a return man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Medal of Honor Posted September 16, 2008 Author Share Posted September 16, 2008 (edited) I always thoughht part of the reason he was gone was not only the booze, but a bad attitude in the locker room. Appearantly he's actually a nice guy who just can't put the bottle down. That should not stop the Seahawks. I mean, Tatapu got a DUI last week.

DMD Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 It happens to at least one or two teams every year. STL and PHI are other teams that have had really bad injury years in the recent past. Of course even they lasted longer than week one before the implosion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Largent80 Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 I guess it's official. All that has to happen now is for Koren to pass the physical and sign a deal. I guess I have to hope it works out and wish the best for him. I won't expect much so if something does work, I will be delighted. It would make one hell of a redemption story if this has a positive ending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushwacked Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 He got another one??? That would be news to me. I'm pretty sure that MoH was referring to the original one and only DUI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seahawks21 Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Why do I feel like the Hawks are making a deal with the devil? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medal of Honor Posted September 16, 2008 Author Share Posted September 16, 2008 Koren Robinson is IN RENTON NOW. He is going to have a physical. If he passes, I'm sure he'll take about any contract. This is all but a done deal. http://blog.seattletimes.nwsource.com/seah...ndex.html#32195 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Er.. yes I was, sorry for the confusion. My point is that Koren isn't the only Seahawk who gets his drink on Edited September 16, 2008 by Medal of Honor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Largent80 Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 (edited) Why do I feel like the Hawks are making a deal with the devil? Might as well, after all, look what that has done for teams like Dallas, New England, and Pittsburgh. Maybe praying just doesn't work.

Randall Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Does he attend AA? Has he given up the booze? Yes and he takes anabuse, that drug that makes you ill if you take any alcohol at all. I can look up what he did if you want. It's been a couple of years since he did any drinking. He and Ricky seem to be success stories the NFL should sponsor.

Medal of Honor Posted September 16, 2008 Author Share Posted September 16, 2008 (edited) UPDATE! KOREN ROBINSON IS SIGNED! See original post! How do I update the topic subject to reflect this change?

The Waterboy Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 I'd like more info on the "Roy Firestone" story of Koren Robinson. I mean this wasn't just one DUI, no? You don't have to go into rehab and almost lose your career over a DUI. Was there all kinds of other stuff - drunk at practice, etc, etc? How bad did it get? Did this guy really hit bottom enough to reform? Or is this just another accident waiting to happen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
