After spending the 2023 season with the New York Giants, former Alabama Crimson Tide defensive tackle [autotag]A’Shawn Robinson[/autotag] will be joining the Carolina Panthers for the upcoming season on a three-year deal worth $22.5 million. The Panthers will be the fourth stop of Robinson’s career after being drafted to the Detroit Lions out of college.
Robinson had one of the most productive NFL seasons of his career in New York as he started 13 of 17 games and accounted for 62 total tackles and two passes defended. At this point in his career, Robinson is already Super Bowl Champion and securing his families financial freedom is probably his top priority.
The Panthers and Robinson had a ton of mutual interest as Carolina’s DC Ejiro Evero and Robinson worked together in Los Angeles. Robinson will be a key piece of Carolina’s defense that is now in the middle of a rebuild after trading away Brian Burns yesterday.
