| 6th September, 2005 - 10:28 am |  Star Tribune - The Vikings are hoping Koren Robinson's future contributions will outweigh the baggage from his past.
Although the team refused to confirm it, Robinson's agent said Monday the former Seattle Seahawks receiver had agreed to a two-year deal after a two-day visit to Winter Park.
Agent Alvin Keels would not divulge financial details but the contract is thought to be for about $1.5 million with several obtainable incentives.
Rob Brzezinski, the Vikings' vice president of football operations, said the sides were still working on several peripheral issues. Keels, however, expects the deal to be signed today and for his client to be in uniform for the Vikings' game at Cincinnati on Sept 11.
Robinson did not attend a training camp this summer because he checked into a 28-day treatment program for alcoholism.
"No. 1, Koren wants to get back on the field," said Keels, who doesn't expect Robinson to play in the Vikings' season opener Sunday against Tampa Bay.
Continued Keels: "No. 2, this gives him an opportunity to play with one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL in Daunte Culpepper and No. 3, he's a competitor and has a drive to win. Minnesota has the ingredients [to win the Super Bowl] and he wants to contribute in any way he can." [READ] |
