This deal has great importance for Greg Robinson, especially since he was almost out of the league in early 2018. Robinson was selected No.2 overall in the 2014 NFL Draft by the Los Angeles Rams but never lived up to his potential. He had a chance for a do-over with the Detroit Lions, but only played six games there before getting released.

Browns decided to sign Greg Robinson in June 2018, where he lost starting tackle position to undrafted rookie Desmond Harrison. Still, after Harrison struggled, Robinson got a chance to start in the second part of the season and ended up using the most out of the opportunity. He made an immediate impact while earning praises from his Cleveland teammates including quarterback Baker Mayfield.
