NFL Trade Rumors: Rams WR Allen Robinson to Patrick Mahomes' Chiefs? (https://chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=348197)

Trade Idea: Rams WR Allen Robinson to Patrick Mahomes' Chiefs

Quote:

The Los Angeles Rams need high picks in order to retool the roster and turn the ship around.

Only problem? They don't have that many.

While the 11 selections the Rams have are valuable, eight of those picks come after No. 150 overall. The team's three picks outside of those come on Day 2, and

Los Angeles could use another one.

Bleacher Report suggests an idea that could land them another mid-round pick, trading wide receiver Allen Robinson II to the Kansas City Chiefs.

The Chiefs are seeking a top wideout for Patrick Mahomes after JuJu Smith-Schuster signed with the New England Patriots in free agency, and Robinson fits the build.

The timing of this deal could be a little tricky though.
If the Rams were to trade Robinson before the draft in order to acquire a pick for this year, Los Angeles would save a mere $1.6 million in cap space. However, if the team had some patience and waited until after June 1, the Rams would save $10 million.

Last spring, Robinson signed a three-year, $46.5 million deal with the Rams. His contract carries cap hits north of $18 million for the upcoming 2023 and 2024 seasons -- clearly a situation the front office wants to avoid taking on.

Robinson is talented but managed to catch just 33 passes for 339 yards and three touchdowns in his first season with the Rams, failing to reach the high expectations placed upon him when he came to Los Angeles.

A divorce could be best for both sides, and the Chiefs could bring out the best in Robinson with arguably the league's best quarterback throwing to him.

*looks at Robinson's contract*

I was all about Robinson two years ago? last offseason? But now, with that contract? Eh.....what are we talking about, here? A fifth? Fourth?

To try and put a positive spin on it - Randy Moss was traded to the Pats from the Raiders for a fourth round pick, so maybe it has the potential to work?

DISCLAIMER: Allen RobinsonII is not and will never be Randy Moss

A totally amazing player.....in 2015

Ideas like that only come from tranq users. Hopefully that idea dies as soon as the users do.

if you need to pull the fire alarm i guess

Counter offer: Straight swap, Cooper Kupp for Clyde.

That would help. I didn't look at the details of his deal, just the average of his deal

Conditional 7th or wait for him to be released.

You sell out to win a SB. You knew there’d be pain selling out for a one year run. At least you got a SB trophy. Take your pain.

Robinson for a 1st? WTF?

So they want *adjusts glasses* another pick after 150?

The perfect deal. It leaves the chiefs wanting for a top receiver still, and the rams still wanting a top pick.

**** that.

Too old, too expensive.

I doubt the validity of this.
