Patrick Robinson & Saints Agree to Deal
 

Saints have agreed to terms on 5-year deal with 1st round pick CB Patrick Robinson. He won't miss a practice.


The New Orleans Saints agreed to a five-year contract with first-round draft choice Patrick Robinson late Thursday night. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

According to his agent, Kevin Conner, Robinson is expected to land in New Orleans around 8 a.m. Friday morning, which means he'll probably miss the start of the Saints' first training camp practice at 8:50. But once he formally signs the deal, Robinson might make it onto the field for a cameo appearance.

Robinson isn't expected to battle for a starting job as a rookie, with veterans Tracy Porter and Jabari Greer firmly entrenched on the corners. But he will compete for roles in nickel and dime packages with cornerback Randall Gay and safeties Malcolm Jenkins and Usama Young, among others.

Saints agree to five-year deal with first-round pick Robinson
 

The New Orleans Saints reached terms on a five-year contract with first-round draft pick Patrick Robinson, a source with knowledge of the deal said Thursday.


Robinson was the last selection (32nd overall) of the first round and will be signed in time to participate in drills when the defending Super Bowl champions open training camp Friday.

The Saints added Robinson, a cornerback from Florida State, for depth and to play in certain packages. The team boasts one of the NFL's top cornerback tandems in Jabari Greer and upstart Tracy Porter, leaving no room for Robinson to crack the starting lineup in the near future. However, Greer and Porter sustained injuries last season, and the drop-off in production was noticeable.

Last season's top pick, cornerback Malcolm Jenkins (14th overall) was moved to safety after Robinson's acquisition. There were questions about Jenkins' ability to play cornerback in the NFL coming out of Ohio State, and the Saints wasted little time moving him to safety after drafting Robinson.

Great, let's get him on the field. The more reps, the better.

Re: Patrick Robinson & Saints Agree to Deal
 

great news, about both. they have high expectations with the kid

Re: Patrick Robinson & Saints Agree to Deal
 

Well, one of my predictions about camp came true...all the rooks are signed by the start of it. This is excellent. Now every single player on the team is under contract.

Re: Patrick Robinson & Saints Agree to Deal

Here's to you M.r Robinson..Breesus luvs you more than you will know..whoa whoa...

Re: Patrick Robinson & Saints Agree to Deal
 

Woo hoo!!

Re: Patrick Robinson & Saints Agree to Deal
 

I think this concludes all of the signing mess, looks like everybody will report to camp on time with no hold outs while most other teams are struggling to make the final penny stretch.

Re: Patrick Robinson & Saints Agree to Deal
 

Well ... PT is still not happy despite his agreeing to a one year deal. But yeah ... it helps to be a Super Bowl Champ in terms of getting everyone in.

Re: Patrick Robinson & Saints Agree to Deal
 

Easier to sign them draft picks when we're picking 32nd ;-)

But seriously, glad to hear it. TC/preseason, competition for the final 53. It's my reality show.

Re: Patrick Robinson & Saints Agree to Deal
 

I am very happy to hear that welcome to the team Patrick I will be wearing his jersey today 100% at camp WHO DAT WE DAT TWO DAT!!!!!!!:bng::mrgreen:

Re: Patrick Robinson & Saints Agree to Deal
 

Even though PT wanted a block deal, I don't think we'll see a drop in his intensity or performance: He's a PLAYER! He knows that if he is going to get a long term deal, Saints or otherwise, he's going to have to go out and prove he can carry the load. I'm going to try to get to Meterie before September...I like to hear the crunch...its like music to my ears.

Re: Patrick Robinson & Saints Agree to Deal
 

Cant wait to see him and Tracy Porter covering the corners..this could be really really good for the Saints.

Re: Patrick Robinson & Saints Agree to Deal
 

They still have to go to the White House though. Another distraction.

Apparently he saw how it disrupted last years #1 draft pick and wanted to improve his chances.
