Jason Wilde, who was on The Homer show, said that he thought the chances of the Packers signing Robinson were pretty high. He thought it may get done after the first game(not committed to a full year salary wise than) and that even with his issues off of the field, the team should be able to expect a years worth of services out of Robinson before his suspension would kick in. (lEONARD lITTLE)

Awesome...any immediate improvement on the field is surely welcome by me.

The dudes facing a felony, I would think his primary concern is staying out of jail, not collecting a couple more checks before NFL suspends him for a year and the Washington courts incarcerate him.....we haven't even begun to discuss his Minnesota legal toubles which include the afformentioned felony. I don't get it.
yeah, as long as the signing bonus is low, it'd be a great signing.
i hope they pull it off.
I would it would be zero bonus banana....yea, it would be a real great signing....aye yi yi....
No bonus, league minimum

Rastak,
i know he's had lots of incidents off the field. that aside, he's a good guy.
any help we can get this season is well worth it. he's a talent, you know that. if he hadn't got into trouble, you'd be raving about him as your number 1 WR.
make the contract low and make him prove himself all over again. that'd be best for both sides.
The young man needs to be in an intensive rehab center to deal with his disease. I am not sure if playing pro football should be part of his daily life in trying to consistently reach and maintain sobriety.
OPF
Where would he fit as a wide receiver, though? #3, #4?

I agree, he needs to worry about his addiction first and foremost, not playing ball.

He's a great guy.....but you might want to re-read what I wrote. He has a parole violation, a 1 year NFL suspension and a felony over his head right now. The hammer is going to come down sooner rather than later.
Why would you want him in Green and Gold when that happens.
Look, it seems to me he ought to get this behind him, get sober and then he can sign with Green Bay or the Bengals maybe. But it's his life, and I'm sure he'll make the right choices....LOL....NOT.
Is this the role model for the kids of Wisconsin?

But it could be said that sitting around with nothing to do and thinking about it will not help his situation either. You need to deal with it, but when you're not actively counseling for the situation, you also need something to keep your mind occupied. Yes, there is a pretty good possibility he's gonna have to do some time, so any football he does will have to be a temp job. The main thing he has to figure out is how to NOT get behind the wheel after he's been drinking. Is there a policy in place for the drinking itself or is it just if they break the law as a result of the drinking? What is the substance abuse policy for a substance that's technically legal?

I'm not sure but he most likely needed to stay sober for his probation. Not sure on the NFL side......I'd be more worried about the Washington court system than the NFL right now if I were him.
Holmgren can't straighten him out, getting a fresh start in Minn. didn't straighten him out.

No "TROLLS" allowed!
I wonder if his probabtion hearing will actually occur on Oct. 1.
HOFer
DON'T SIGN THIS GUY! THIS IS THE PACKERS. WE WANT PACKER PEOPLE. WE DON'T NEED THE EMBARRASSMENT OF SIGNING A FOOL LIKE THIS. NOT JUST SO WE CAN WIN 7 GAMES INSTEAD OF 6 GAMES.
Not sure, I did find this...
I also found in another article that is was scheduled for Oct 17th.....

MINNEAPOLIS – A high-speed police chase and allegations of drunken driving in Minnesota will send Vikings receiver Koren Robinson back to a courtroom in Washington state.
A hearing in Kirkland Municipal Court will be held to determine whether Robinson's recent arrest violated terms of his probation stemming from a 2005 drunken driving incident in Medina, Wash.
"It's a review hearing because of noncompliance of conditions of his sentence," said Aimee Vance, court supervisor. If it's determined that Robinson was in violation, he could face up to 364 days in jail and up to $4,650 in fines, Vance said.
The hearing, originally set for Sept. 26, will be rescheduled because it will be held before Kirkland Municipal Court Commissioner Wayne Stewart, instead of before Judge Michael J. Lambo, Vance said. A new hearing date is expected to be set by the end of the week.
Last Tuesday, Robinson refused to stop for police after radar caught his blue BMW sedan going more than 100 mph in a 55 mph zone near Mankato, where the Vikings hold their training camp, police said.
Robinson, a former first-round draft pick whose promising career with Seattle was derailed by alcohol problems, was charged Wednesday in Minnesota's Nicollet County with a felony count of fleeing from police, two counts of drunken driving, and three other misdemeanors. The criminal complaint said a field test measured Robinson's blood-alcohol content at 0.11 percent. He posted $50,000 bail.
Robinson had pleaded guilty to a 2005 incident of driving under the influence in Washington. He was given a five-year suspended sentence, with no law violations, and no driving with a blood-alcohol content of .08 or above. Among other conditions, he also was ordered not to use alcoholic beverages or nonprescription drugs, Vance said.
I heard we offered to put a keg of beer on the Plane and one by his locker.In return he would wave the signing bonus. Just kidding guys and gals. I think a little cheese might be good for this guy. Give us a good year of production, show the courts you have cleaned up, and they may give him a work release and allow him to serve his jail time in the off season.
HOFer
Either way, he's going to get suspended for a year. That suspension will likely start in October.
HOFer
I thought he had to get convicted first...
