[QUOTE="trippster, post: 110804, member: 433"] not bringing in a problem player simply because he didn't make it on another team is not necessarily a good thing. Please give this some thought The Vikings got rid of Robinson becasue they are trying hard to change the culture of that team from a undisciplined team to a more disciplined team. You already have bad apples on the team. How do you drive the point home that you will abide or else? Can the team handle more problems? no. More problems bring the rest of the team down. So you find yourself someone to make an example of. Enter Koren Robinson. And keep in mind he has an illness, not an attitude. Now with the Packers, you have a locker room of good people. Very few bad apples. Bring in Koren and you have a better chance of him being lifted up by the standards of the locker room than him bringing the locker room down. Remember, he is not a locker room cancer. He is simply addicted. That does not make him a bad person. The Packer locker room gives him a better chance to succeed. That makes it worth the gamble, IMO. now as far as the contract, It is my impression from TV that we don't take a cap hit except for what we already paid him. We get him back at the same price when he comes back (which is little for a pro bowl returner/WR) The upside is that he is loyal to us for giving him a chance. Also, I am sure that TT has extensive knowledge of KR's personality and didn't feel it would be a detriment to the locker room. As far as the Practice squad guys, He knows what Francis brings to the table because he has watched him all season, playing against our first string D. If he felt there was soemone in FA that would help him achieve his goals, I think he would have brought him in. [/QUOTE]
