Wide receiver Allen Robinson has passed his physical examination with the Pittsburgh Steelers, sources revealed to ESPN on Wednesday. This makes his trade from the Los Angeles Rams official.
In exchange for their seventh-round pick (No. 234), the Steelers have received both Robinson and the Rams’ seventh-round draft pick (No. 251). In addition, the Rams will pay $10.25 million of Robinson’s $15.25 million guaranteed salary for the 2023 season, with the Steelers picking up the remaining $5 million.
Robinson’s arrival in Pittsburgh adds a deeper layer of experience to the Steelers’ lineup, at the same breaking ranks with the team’s typical strategy of building their roster through the draft as opposed to high-profile trades. The team has broken its status quo this offseason, however, embracing an aggressive free agency strategy that has seen the arrival of veteran cornerback Patrick Peterson and guard Isaac Seumalo.
During the last offseason, the 29-year-old Robinson signed a three-year, $46.5 million contract with the Rams. His season went awry in Week 12, however, when he suffered a left ankle injury against the Kansas City Chiefs. Following surgery, he missed the final six games of the season.
