Houston Texans
Robinson was drafted by the
On February 19, 2009, Robinson became the first Texan in franchise history to be given the franchise tag.[4] Upset at receiving the tag, Robinson subsequently sat out all of Texans training camp before finally signing a one-year, $9.957 million tender a week before the 2009 NFL season began. In the Texans' first game against the New York Jets, Robinson's shoes bore the message "Pay Me Rick," directed at Texans' General Manager Rick Smith. Robinson was fined $25,000 by the NFL for wearing the shoes.[5]
Atlanta Falcons
On March 5, 2010, as an unrestricted free agent, Robinson signed a six-year contract with the Atlanta Falcons worth $54 million with $22.5 million in guaranteed money.
Robinson was fined $50,000 for an illegal hit on a defenseless player when he hit Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson on October 17, 2010, in Philadelphia.[6]
On September 18, 2011, Robinson made another illegal helmet-to-helmet hit on Eagles wide receiver Jeremy Maclin.[7] The NFL fined him $40,000.[8]
On March 1, 2013, in a mildly surprising and abrupt move to clear salary cap space, Robinson was released by the Falcons.[9] It was also speculated that the Falcons had grown less enamored with Robinson after his repeated personal fouls for illegal hits and a perceived low return on their $54 million investment. Former All Pro running back Michael Turner and All Pro defensive end John Abraham were also released at the same time by the Falcons as salary cap casualties.[10]
Kansas City Chiefs
Robinson signed with the Kansas City Chiefs on March 8, 2013.[11] On February 7, 2014, Robinson was released by the Chiefs.[12]
