Patrick Robinson, Cornerback

Having signed a 3-year, $14 million deal with the Colts last offseason, Robinson appeared in just 7 games, as he recorded 26 tackles and a forced fumble.

Like Jones last season, Patrick Robinson simply didn’t see the field enough to make any sort of meaningful impact during his debut season in Indianapolis.

It doesn’t mean that Robinson can’t be a productive CB2 for the Colts (if healthy), but at the same time, he wasn’t new general manager Chris Ballard‘s signing–who owes him nothing.

Robinson did have a pretty solid season for the San Diego Chargers in the 2015 season before joining the Colts, when he was considered among the league’s best slot cornerbacks.

Cutting Robinson would save the Colts only $2.5 million in cap space next year, so the savings would be pretty small given the amount of free agency dollars or early draft pick that it may take to actually replace him as a starting cornerback.
