Demarcus Robinson’s DUI arrest last year, though not met with immediate suspension by the Los Angeles Rams or the NFL, carries potential implications for his future playing career.
As reported by the OC Registers, Adam Grosbard, Rams General Manager Les Snead indicated on Wednesday that Robinson has “some things to work through legally” during the offseason, which could “prevent play time in the future.” This suggests that despite avoiding suspension in 2024, Robinson may still face disciplinary action from the league for a potential violation of the personal conduct policy.
Consequently, Robinson’s ongoing legal situation will likely play a significant role in the Rams’ decision regarding his potential return as a free agent. Furthermore, his legal troubles could also affect his market value in free agency, as other NFL teams may be hesitant to sign him given the possibility of a forthcoming suspension.
Demarcus Robinson’s Role For The Los Angeles Rams
Robinson’s two-season stint with the Los Angeles Rams showcased his adaptability and value as a reliable receiver. Initially joining on a one-year deal, he quickly carved out a role as the team’s third wide receiver, demonstrating a knack for making impactful plays. His contributions to the offense in his second season with Los Angeles, under a one-year, $4 million contract, proved valuable. Robinson, serving as the Rams’ third wide receiver last season, delivered a notable performance, securing 31 receptions for a career-high 505 yards and a team-leading seven touchdown receptions.
However, with his 31st birthday and an ongoing legal matter, Robinson may find himself waiting longer than anticipated to sign with a team during this offseason.
