The Jacksonville Jaguars will soon have another pending free agent from their 2020 roster signed in left tackle Cam Robinson. According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the veteran is in the process of signing the franchise tag the Jags placed on him, which will lock him up on a one-year deal.
The Jags decided to tag Robinson on March 9, which was the deadline to assign the contract. Once he signs the tag, he will be due to make a fully guaranteed contract worth just under $14 million. Robinson and the Jags could also work out a long-term deal before the league’s deadline on July 15.
Robinson will probably be tasked with protecting Clemson’s Trevor Lawrence on the blindside this season as he is the player most expect them to select first overall. He’ll have plenty of experience manning the blindside with 47 starts to his name, and he’s been a starter since the Jags drafted him in the second round of the 2017 NFL Draft.
Since joining the Jags, Robinson has been a pretty solid run blocker but inconsistent in pass protection. However, if he can show improvement, there shouldn’t be a reason the Jags won’t look to lock him up on a long-term deal down the road.
Robinson registered a Pro Football Focus grade of 61.7 last season. They also have him down for five sacks allowed and five penalties in 2020.
