He was one of the team’s best blockers last year, but receiver Allen Robinson only caught 34 passes for 280 yards and no touchdowns. He attempted to bring a veteran presence to the wide receiver room with his 10 years in the NFL out of Penn State. Robinson was due $10 million this coming season and might be re-signed at a lower price.
