OFFICIAL: Panthers Trade For OT Corey Robinson

[MHS831]

" Robinson was a seventh-round pick for the Lions out of South Carolina in 2015, playing in 23 games and in starting eight. His career has been hampered by foot injuries -- including eight missed games last season.

He left Thursday night's preseason finale against Cleveland with a foot injury

Did we trade for a player who is injured because we have injuries at T?   Is it possible that he is released when Kalil returns, meaning we get his services for a game or two?

He would be solid depth, but we don't need depth on the IR....

From what i remember of him in college we lined him up at LT. He gets raped by the speed rush but mauls in the run game. Guy is enormous.

That makes sense. Maybe wait for Thomas’ price to drop 

A few teams could QUICKLY become sellers with guys we like.  

• Seahawks could struggle, and yeah, Thomas
• The Redskins losing a few games, with our CB situation...I wonder what CB they have that already knows our defense and could start immediately? 
• A starting OT, much like Duane Brown to the Seahawks last year, could be exactly what we need. 
• DE could also QUICKLY become a massive need with one injury.

Having more space during the season is a smart play right now.

nice

A much needed healthy body, help hold down the fort at RT for a few weeks until Williams is healthy.

Robinson played in 23 games, started 8. 26 years old.

We gave up a conditional 7th round 2020 pick.  Salary a bit over vet minimum.

We need OT help desperately. This is a start.

I'm gonna assume it's minor because otherwise yeah, that would be odd.

If Obada doesn’t make it that would be ridiculous.  #yeswecan

[Mr. Scot]

Reading up on him: He was one of the last guys that was drafted by former Lions GM Martin Mayhew.

Mayhew was one of the guys we interviewed for GM in order to overachieve on Rooney Rule compliance.

He'll have to pass his physical for the trade to be official anyway.

True, but as I understand it you can pass a physical with a short-term injury. It just can't be anything lingering.
