First of all, an awful title for this article. From all accounts I've heard, Koren had really been cleaning up his lifestyle, so if you don't read this article it makes it look like his character is what got him cut. That is not true. What got him cut is the great depth at WR the Packers have.
I don't question the move to dump him since the Pack are so loaded at the position, but I think he will do well with another team. I do wish we could have at least traded him though, to at least get SOMETHING for this guys.
Good luck Koren! Packer nation will still be cheering for you!

I agree robinson did nothing but try to improve himself while in green bay. This article makes it seem like he was caught drinking and driving again and got cut.

Sweet article headline...pretty pathetic on cbs' part. Koren served his punishment and provided a boost to the Packers when he returned to the field, particularly by allowing them to install a spread offense. He's still has strong value in this leaue and whoever happens to land him will be benefited greatly. Good luck Koren!

What got him cut is the great depth at WR the Packers have.
There were several posters that predicted the release of Koren Robinson during this year's draft when Jordy Nelson was the first pick followed by a couple more wideouts.
Whether it be a numbers crunch from a personnel perspective or economic decision I was saddened to see the Pack cut a player that they had stuck by during his suspension and come back last season.
I wish him well with his next team, and sobriety with success for the rest of his life.

the Packers got younger at WR
it was either Driver or KRob
KRob is both cheaper to cut and does not have the numbers
KRob will catch on somewhere and I wish him luck.
He has made big strides to clean up, at least that is the way it seams.
Philly, Chicago, Miami, Dallas, and a half dozen other teams could use KRob.

I agree with all of u, i read this article title and was like WHAT!??!...thats not really fair to Robinson..

Right on. That's exactly the case...
I don't question the move to dump him since the Pack are so loaded at the position, but I think he will do well with another team. I do wish we could have at least traded him though, to at least get SOMETHING for this guys.I definitely think that we could have gotten something for him. But I imagine that as savvy as Ted Thompson is, he was trying to shop him in every way before finally cutting him. At the very least he would seek future draft picks for him.
Personally, I didn't think that Koren Robinson did anything last year that any other WR could've accomplished. His playing speed was slow and sluggish. I wish that we could have seen if it was just a fluke of being out of the league for a year, but now we'll have to see if he can do that with another team this year. On the hand, Jordy Nelson will come in and do everything that Koren was brought in to do even better. I was one of those people who thought that picking Jordy Nelson, like PalmettoHawk alluded to, was signaling something that Packer fans were not yet aware of. I guess this is it.

The reason we couldn't get anything for him was our depth at the position. I've heard we shopped him round but why would a team give up a draft pick for someone who in all likelyhood was going to be cut anyway.
Congratulations to Koren for straightening his life out, keep up the good work and all the very best for the future.

Jesse, first let me say I agree with everything your say, but Driver is 33 years old
I would not really cut him but of the core five; Jennings, Driver, Jones, Nelson, KRob
only Driver or KRob could be considered in cut thoughts.
as cutting Driver would be silly with a host of inexperienced QBs the choice got easy.
not really correct logic to include Ruvell Martin or Chris Francies in this discussion because niether have much chance to crack the 53 unless Green Bay carries 6 or 7 WRs. Even then they would have to beat out draft pick Brett Swain and off season special teams ace add Johnny Quinn.

The Packers will end up cutting more than just Koren Robinson at reciever. He is just the biggest name of the guys who will be cut. Their top 4 guys alone are Donald Driver, Greg Jennings, James Jones, and Jordy Nelson three of those guys put up good numbers last season and Nelson was their top pick this season. Not to mention they will probably only keep 6 recievers at most and behind those 4 there is:
Carlyle Holiday-Headed into his 4th season with only 9 catches on his resume. He only averaged 14 yards per catch so I doubt he will make this team.
Brett Swain-A 7th round flyer this season that could make the team but again it all depends on the performance on special teams. He is a guy who is decent at everything but doesn't excell at anything but the Packers have success with late round picks at reciever.
Ruvell Martin-Pretty much the 5th reciever hands down. He has 36 catches in his two seasons with the Packers and has been to NFL Europe. He has good experience and at 6'4 210 he provides a big target for Rodgers. He will make this team.
Chris Francies-Has had injury issues in the past only being active for 8 games over the past 2 seasons.
Johnny Quinn-Undrafted free agent this season. Signed to play reciever but his real value is on special teams. He has good speed, but has only marginal size. He will have to impress big time to make this team.
Shaun Bodiford-Hasn't played much but has been in the league with 3 different teams in the past 4 seasons. He can return punts and kicks and is a gunner on special teams. The added versatility is what will win these guys a spot.
Keep in mind the Packers have good depth at other positions that could flow over to them not keeping 6 recievers. Cornerback Will Blackmon was listed as a reciever coming out of college and he also returns punts and kicks. His versatility could put a reciever out of a job. The Packers also have guys at runningback like DeShawn Wynn, and Noah Herron that have good hands and could fill in at reciever if really needed. The Packers will keep 4 runningbacks especially with what happened last season with the rotation they had. This team is deep at reciever and it will be hard for anybody to make it onto the 53 man roster without some tremendous play.

i agree that he was down after being out of the league last year. if for nothing else he should get a shot with another team because of how he has turned his life around, not including what a talent he is. i read somewhere dallas is interested and it makes sense with Terry Glenn and t.o. getting long in the tooth and also with t.o. possibly being a free agent at the end of this year.

when the Packers signed Koren Robinson i was immediately expecting him 2 play like he did with the Vikings being a great returnman and a good receiver but we do have great depth with Donald Driver Greg Jennings James Jones Jordy Nelson and Ruvell Martin i mean the first 3 have proven themselves to be immensley valuable and nelson is their first pick in this years draft he has plenty of potential and ruvell martin provides a huge target for Aaron Rodgers and makes the occasional big play it only made sense to release koren even though he did manage to turn his life around

so i guess that leanord little doesnt isnt really that bad of a person either... i mean he just was drinking and driving and killed a couple of people.... drinking and driving really isnt as bad as it sounds, i mean koren only led police on an extremely reckless and stupid high speed chase while intoxicated..... no hes a good guy....
seriously, if this was your neighbor you'd think a lot less of him...
