Giants' James Robinson: Plans to join Big Blue
Robinson (undisclosed) is slated to sign with the Giants on Friday, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.
Robinson presumably has to pass a physical before the deal is completed. The undrafted product out of Illinois State started 27 of 28 games for Jacksonville prior to tearing his Achilles late in Dec. 2021. He returned for Week 1 of 2022 and was productive through three games, totaling 263 yards and four scores, but he struggled after that and was eventually traded to the Jets. Robinson was a nonfactor for New York, but he still landed a two-year deal with the Patriots in March, only to be let go three months later. Nonetheless, Robinson is still only 25 years old and will have a chance to compete during training camp for a spot in the Giants' running back room, which could be in flux if Saquon Barkley opts not to join the team before Week 1.

James Robinson: Struggling to stay healthy
Robinson struggled to stay healthy for spring practices prior to the Patriots waiving him Monday, Jeff Howe of The Athletic reports.
No specific injury is mentioned, but Robinson's career trajectory largely seems a product of the Achilles tear he suffered late in Dec. 2021 toward the end of his second season. The 2020 UDFA started 27 of his 28 games for Jacksonville prior to the severe injury, averaging 4.5 yards per carry and 65.6 rushing yards per game (plus 20.2 receiving yards). Robinson made it back for Week 1 of 2022 just nine months after the Achilles tear and had 263 total yards and four TDs over his first three games, but he struggled in the following weeks and was demoted to a backup role before being traded to New York, where he dealt with a knee injury and was a healthy scratch at times. Robinson then signed a two-year contract with the Patriots this March, only to be released three months later. That's not a great sign for his NFL future, though he's young enough (25 in August) that a rebound can't be entirely ruled out even if it doesn't happen this season. Robinson should get a shot with another team for training camp this summer.

James Robinson: Let go by New England
The Patriots waived Robinson on Monday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
Robinson signed a two-year contract with New England this offseason, but there was no guaranteed money included in the deal due to the running back's health concerns. If he clears waivers, the Illinois State product will be free to sign with any team that shows interest. The 24-year-old rushed for 1,837 yards and 15 touchdowns over his first two NFL seasons in Jacksonville, but he struggled to stay healthy last year, totaling 425 rushing yards across 11 appearances split between the Jaguars and Jets.
