Raiders sign former Chiefs WR Demarcus Robinson

Former longtime Chiefs WR Demarcus Robinson joins Raiders on one-year deal

It’s been a busy day for the Raiders. They’ve been steady adding free agents. And all on the same day of Davante Adams’s introductory press conference. And as soon as that wrapped up, they officially added another receiver to the mix. The Raiders have signed former Chiefs WR Demarcus Robinson.

Robinson has spent his entire six-year career in Kansas City, where the former fourth round pick appeared in 97 games with 42 starts.

The Florida product could compete for an outside receiver spot with the Raiders. Though he was never a full time starter with the Chiefs and has never even reached 50 catches or 500 yards receiving in a season.

His career-highs came in 2020 when he had 45 catches for 466 yards and three touchdowns which catching over 76% of pass thrown his way.

Last season his production dipped to his lowest in five seasons with just 25 catches for 264 yards and three touchdowns despite appearing in all 17 contests with ten starts.
