Rams ‘allow Allen Robinson to find a trade with LA prepared to pay a portion of his $15.25m salary’

Pro Bowl wide receiver Allen Robinson II could be on the move after the LA Rams “gave agent permission to pursue a trade.”

According to Tom Pelissero of NFL Networkthe 2021 Super Bowl champions are even willing to account for a large portion of their salary next season.

“LA is willing to pay a portion of Robinson’s guaranteed salary of $15.25 million to facilitate a deal,” the report said.

Ian Rapoport added the Rams have already been looking to trade Robinson in recent weeks, to no avail.

“The salary makes it very challenging, but it is clear that both parties would like a fresh start,” he said. ‘A cautionary tale heading into free agency.’

Robinson signed for Sean McVay and the Rams on a three-year, $46.5 million deal in March 2022.

The former Jacksonville and Chicago star had trouble showing himself after joining Ram’s Super Bowl-winning offense last offseason.

Robinson had just 33 receptions for 339 yards and three touchdowns in 10 games for LA.

Now he’s had his worst two consecutive statistical seasons, after a rocky season with Chicago in 2021 under Matt Nagy, now Kansas City’s offensive coordinator.

Robinson finished that season with 38 receptions, 410 yards, and a touchdown. Prior to the previous two seasons, Robinson had established himself as an elite pass catcher.

The Penn State alum had back-to-back 1,000 receiving yard seasons in 2019 and 2020.

Robinson began his career with the Jaguars after being drafted in the second round of the 2014 NFL Draft.

In 2018, he signed a three-year, $42 million contract with the Chicago Bears as a free agent.

Robinson was widely known as one of the best wide receivers in the league while in Chicago.

The former Penn State star began his NFL career with Jacksonville and had 1,400 yards in 2015
