Here are the details of Demarcus Robinson’s contract, which includes $1M in incentives

Demarcus Robinson’s deal with the Rams includes a base pay of $4 million and $1 million in incentives

Demarcus Robinson will be back with the Los Angeles Rams next season after agreeing to a one-year deal worth up to $5 million. It’s a bargain price for the Rams, who deployed Robinson as their No. 3 receiver toward the end of last season – a move that worked out brilliantly.

ProFootballTalk has all the details of Robinson’s contract, which includes a base pay of just $4 million, with another $1 million that can be earned through incentives. That makes this contract an even bigger steal for the Rams, who also have Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp signed through next season.

According to PFT, Robinson gets $166,666.67 if he plays at least 35% of the offensive snaps. If he plays 45%, he’ll get double that amount. If he plays 50%, he’ll make $500,000. Here’s where things get a little more complicated.

If the team improves its league ranking in total net offensive yards or the Rams get to the playoffs, Robinson gets another payment tied to playing percentage. For 40 percent of the snaps, he gets $166,666.67. For 50 percent of the snaps, he gets $333,333.34. If he participates in 60 percent of the snaps, he gets $500,000.

In other words, he’ll get the maximum of $1 million in incentives if the Rams either improve their offensive ranking or make the playoffs, and he plays at least 60% of the snaps. The Rams ranked seventh in total offense last season, for reference. Robinson also gets a $1.5 million signing bonus on this contract.

Even if Robinson earns the maximum of $5 million, it’s a smart deal for Los Angeles.

Tyreek Hill praises Demarcus Robinson after Rams deal: ‘He deserves more’

Tyreek Hill had high praise for Demarcus Robinson after getting a new deal, saying “he deserves more”

The Los Angeles Rams made a great decision last week to re-sign Demarcus Robinson to a one-year deal. Robinson emerged as the team’s No. 3 receiver last season and will now get a chance to maintain that role behind Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua in 2024.

The deal is a bargain for the Rams, who will pay Robinson $5 million for one season, and even his former teammate Tyreek Hill knows it’s a steal for Los Angeles. After Robinson’s deal was reported, Hill posted on social media that Robinson “deserves more.”

He’s probably not wrong, but clearly Robinson wanted to remain with the Rams and felt comfortable taking $5 million for one year before hitting free agency again next offseason.

Last season, Robinson caught 26 passes for 371 yards and four touchdowns in 16 games (four starts). He also caught three passes for 44 yards in the playoffs, which was his eighth straight year of making the postseason.

Hopefully he will make it nine years in a row next season as a member of the Rams.

Rams, Demarcus Robinson agree to one-year deal worth $5 million

The Rams are bringing back Demarcus Robinson on a one-year deal worth $5 million

The Los Angeles Rams aren’t going to let Demarcus Robinson get away after just one season in Los Angeles. They’re bringing back the veteran receiver for another year, agreeing to terms on a one-year deal.

According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, the contract is worth $5 million, a bargain price for a receiver who can be the No. 3 option in the Rams offense.

In his first season with Los Angeles, Robinson caught 26 passes for 371 yards and four touchdowns in 16 games (four starts). He added another three catches for 44 yards in the playoffs, his eighth straight year making the postseason.

With Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp locked in as the top options at wide receiver, Robinson can compete for snaps as the No. 3 target, likely along with Tutu Atwell and potentially a rookie draft pick.

Puka Nacua tells the funny story of when Demarcus Lawrence tossed him ‘like a ragdoll’

“I pride myself in blocking and you threw threw me like I was a little kid” 😂

Most rookies have a “welcome to the NFL” moment at some point during their first year in the league, and even the great Puka Nacua wasn’t immune to it. Cowboys defensive end Demarcus Lawrence was the player who let Nacua know he was in the big leagues now during the Rams’ Week 8 matchup in Dallas with a play that Puka still hasn’t forgotten.

Nacua was asked to block Lawrence on a toss play and while he felt good about it initially, he looked up at Lawrence and wondered, “Why did he grow 7 more inches? What the heck?!”

“I went to go hit the block and it was like in slow-motion,” Nacua said. “I can remember so vividly, he grabbed both my wrists – left hand, right hand – he grabbed both my wrists and threw me like a ragdoll 5 yards. And then it was a 6-yard loss. I just remember, like, ‘Coach is going to kill me.’ So that was not how that play was supposed to get drawn up.”

Nacua and Lawrence were both Pro Bowlers this year so when Puka saw him in Orlando, he had to remind Demarcus of the time he got ragdolled in Week 8.

“I saw him at the Pro Bowl and I had to let him know. I was like, ‘I don’t know if you remember – that’s probably an everyday play for you – but I was like, I pride myself in blocking and you threw me like I was a little kid.’

“He was like, ‘I don’t really remember it.’ I was like, ‘Oh man, that makes me feel even worse.’”

Nacua did everything right for the Rams this season, from catching passes to blocking in the run game, but Lawrence reminded him just how big, physical and strong defenders in the NFL are.

Rams WR Demarcus Robinson suing hotel where he was robbed at gunpoint

Demarcus Robinson had $150K worth of valuables stolen from him in a robbery last year, and he’s now suing the hotel where it happened

In October, Rams wide receiver Demarcus Robinson was robbed at gunpoint outside a Los Angeles hotel. The two thieves stole $100,000 worth of jewelry from Robinson, who thankfully was not injured in the incident.

Now, Robinson is suing the hotel where the robbery occurred. According to TMZ Sports, he filed a lawsuit against the Lexen Hotel in North Hollywood for negligence, seeking $149,500 in damages. In the lawsuit, Robinson claims there were no security guards outside the hotel or in the lobby and that the front desk associates didn’t call the police until the thieves left the scene.

More from TMZ Sports:

Robinson claims he entered the facility through a side entrance after pulling into the parking garage … but when he made his way into the lobby, two masked men pulled guns on him and threatened to murder him.

In the suit, Robinson says the men took nearly $150,000 worth of stuff off of his person during the encounter … including a luxury diamond watch and two diamond chains.

Robinson just finished his first season with the Rams after signing with them as a free agent last offseason. He caught 26 passes for 371 yards and four touchdowns this season, becoming their No. 3 receiver by the end of the year.

Robinson will be a free agent in March.

With that in mind, here are some pending free agents we’d like to see in New Orleans, who are hitting the field in Sunday night’s game between the Detroit Lions and Los Angeles Rams:
