The Los Angeles Rams essentially gave up on Greg Robinson at left tackle when they signed Andrew Whitworth this offseason. Now, they’ve officially moved on from the former No. 2 overall pick completely.
The Rams traded Robinson to the Lions on Thursday for a sixth-round pick, adding some insurance for the injured Taylor Decker.
Robinson has struggled mightily in his first three seasons, which is why the Rams elected to go after Whitworth in free agency. They realized it would be unwise to use him as the blindside protector for their franchise quarterback, Jared Goff.
With the Lions, Robinson will likely compete at left tackle with Decker potentially out for the start of the season.
