Rams' new regime quickly moved on from failed LT Greg RobinsonAlden Gonzalez
LOS ANGELES -- Greg Robinson's ineffective, disappointing stint with the Los Angeles Rams ended with a red-eye flight out of LAX. The Rams traded Robinson, the former No. 2 overall pick who was no longer their left tackle, to the Detroit Lions for a 2018 sixth-round pick, both teams announced on Thursday morning.
Robinson was informed of the trade on Wednesday afternoon and was sent on an East-bound flight later that night.
The Rams, now under an entirely new coaching staff, had moved on long before that.
They watched Robinson struggle thoroughly, with both penalties and inconsistent play, over these past three years. They benched him twice amid a 4-12 season in 2016, then splurged on a free-agent left tackle, Andrew Whitworth, and opted against picking up the fifth-year option on Robinson's rookie contract. Robinson was moving to right tackle in 2017. But by the time the Rams' offseason program wrapped up on Wednesday, Jamon Brown was taking all the first-team snaps at the position and Robinson was only involved with the scout team.
