Another Head Case

Players sign lucrative contracts, but often never receive most of the money. Injuries can cause the player to get released. The front office will often force the player to restructure the contract to make it salary cap friendly.

WR Laurent Robinson is a great example. In 2011, he had a career year for Dallas which he parlayed into a 5 year/$32.5 million free agent contract with Jacksonville. He suffered multiple concussions while playing for the Jaguars in 2012 and was released after the season.

He has generated interest from other teams including the Pats, Jets, 49er's, Colts, Lions, Saints and Dolphins, but can't find a landing spot. Seven teams have expressed concerns about his concussion history.

Teams can wait until after Week 1 of the regular season to sign him to a contract that isn't guaranteed. At this point, his options are limited. He is only 28, but facing the end of his carer.
