Greg Robinson is no longer a member of the Cleveland Browns. His contract was set to expire at the end of the NFL league year, making the burly left tackle a pending free agent.
After his arrest this week on federal charges of marijuana possession with intent to distribute, Robinson almost certainly has no future with any NFL team. But according to a report from NFL.com’s Tom Pelissero, the Browns were not planning on even trying to bring Robinson back regardless of his arrest. Cleveland.com also reported that Robinson had already been told by the Browns that he was not in their plans for 2020.
Robinson and his Auburn teammate, NFL free agent Quan Bray, face up to 20 years in federal prison if convicted of all charges. Border patrol agents busted the duo with 156.9 pounds of marijuana at a Mexican border crossing near El Paso, Texas on Monday.
As the team’s primary left tackle the last two seasons, Robinson was a consistently underwhelming presence. He struggled with speed on the edge and proved a poor run blocker, issues that plagued him since he began his NFL career with the Rams as the No. 2 overall pick in the 2014 NFL Draft.
