In a blow to the drama the legal tampering period can bring, the buzz about the Titans and Wan’Dale Robinson has turned out to be accurate. The former Giants slot receiver will reunite with Brian Daboll in Tennessee, The Athletic’s Dianna Russini reports.
Robinson agreed to terms on a four-year, $70MM deal, veteran insider Jordan Schultz tweets. The contract can max out at $78MM. This will reward the 5-foot-8 target after a 1,000-yard contract year while giving Cam Ward a wideout familiar with Daboll’s offense.
It took a bit for Robinson to break through in New York, and his 2024 season brought only a 7.5-yard average per reception. It would have been next to impossible for Robinson to fetch this $17.5MM-per-year agreement off that campaign, but the former second-round pick fortunately paired well with Jaxson Dart and totaled 1,014 yards on 92 catches in 2025. With Malik Nabers out and Darius Slayton also missing time with injuries, Dart leaned on his slot weapon.
Although the Giants wanted to retain Robinson, they gave Slayton a three-year, $36MM deal last March and will let the younger pass catcher walk. The Titans have not yet released Calvin Ridley, but that could be on tap. Robinson’s salary will align with Ward’s rookie contract.
Plenty of smoke emerged connecting Robinson to the Titans. The Combine annually serves as a preview of the tampering period, and the Indianapolis gathering did little to mask Tennessee’s interest in the ex-Daboll Giants charge. By Sunday, a “widespread belief” existed the Titans would land Robinson.
After playing in only six games as a rookie, Robinson became a key target for Daniel Jones (and his backups) before doing his best work with Dart. Robinson provided some longer-range work compared to his earlier years, and the Titans will surely tap into that part of the Kentucky alum’s skillset. Robinson has age on his side as well, as he is entering an age-25 season. That separated him from this year’s top FA wideouts, and the open market will reward a late-blooming talent.
I guess it’s not bad considering how similar it is to the contract Christian Kirk signed four years ago when the cap was much lower, but I still wouldn’t be excited to sign this deal on the team side.
That AFC South is gonna be mighty tough this autumn.
Only because all the teams are incompetent.
Jax won the AFC South and fought for AFC #1 seed in Week 18. Houston also made the playoffs. Indy was heading that way until a late-season collapse.
NFC East? Worst division in 2025 by far.
So, all FA former-Giants are now Titans and all FA former-Ravens are all Giants. Good. Let’s just hurry that process along.
Not all the ex-Ravens are going to that NFC East team in New York.
You have me picturing the moment in Ocean’s Eleven when they all show up at the house at the same time and Elliot Gould says “You guys get a group rate or something?” but with NFL players.
Getting Robinson coming off of a breakout 1,000 yard season at less than $20 million per year is a really solid get.
He’s the perfect gadget WR who has now proven he can be an impact traditional pass catcher as well.
He’s not a gadget WR by any means. He’s a great route-runner with good hands. If you’re expecting him to make open field plays or make defenders miss, it ain’t going to happen. Less than 10 yards per catch for his career.
It’s a great move for the Titans, don’t get me wrong. They need a professional possession WR with no drama who can find the open pockets in a defense and sit. Just don’t expect anything ‘gagdet’ from him.
So, you obviously didn’t watch him in college when he was arguably the best gadget player in the nation.
He is definitely a gadget WR.
Solid pickup
Robinson is small, doesn’t get many yards after the catch because of his size and has drop issues. Another negative on him is if it’s 3rd and 6, he’ll run a 5 yard pattern and get immediately tackled forcing a punt. He’s a 3rd WR on a good team.
HUGE overpay.
Happy Gmen didn’t overpay. Had great 2025 season due to Nabers injury.
