Noone wants to not sign Robinson shitdicks. The issue is the idea that he is a must-sign, which implies sign at whatever the cost.

If we can sign him for a reasonable third WR deal, then do it. If we can't, let him walk. Don't overpay for luxury players. That makes him not a must sign.
He was not a luxury player...he was someone that the needed to function offensively last year. I'd give him 3 mil a year for 3 years without hesitation.

Also, no one is saying to throw a massive deal at him, shitdick.

We gave Crayton over 4 mil a year.

There's no way Robinson signs for 3 per.

Maybe...again, I think his real value is here, if a team is offering him 6 or 7 mil a year then he is gone. I don't see that.

How does "must-sign" not imply that we sign him at whatever the cost?

I think a reasonable deal is 5 mil per season. But I'm not sure we'll get him for that if another team wants him for a #2 or hell maybe the Rams want to bring him back to be their guy. And then we have to let him walk because we can't afford to keep sinking money in offensive playmakers.

=NOT a must-sign.

=a "sign if we can" luxury player

I don't know, did not use the term, but I also do not believe he was a luxury player. A luxury guy to me is specialized...like a guy who can only return kicks or something.

I want him back for sure, love guys like him and Austin and Romo gems that we found and developed and watched bloom but sometimes you can't keep all your toys. Romo, Ware....these were must sign guys to me. Robinson isn't in that category. But hopefully we can keep him anyway, without giving him a Marion Barber deal.

That is the key...I am not advocating a massive deal for the guy and I think his deal will not be crazy expensive.

Okay, I couldn't figure out why superpunk felt Robinson wasn't a must-sign and now I see it's the term.

No, he isn't a sign-at-all costs player. I agree with that. If he gets a huge offer to be a starter somewhere then we have to let him go.

In regards to him being crucial to the continuity of success of Romo and the overall passing game, I think he is a very important re-signing. If we have to pay a little more than the going rate for a 3rd WR to do that, I feel we should.

I think if we fix our Oline, Romo will make any receiver look good.

Except Ogletree, appearantly.

Robinson is good, sure. But lets not act like Holley doesn't catch everything thrown his way.

If you don't think Harris (he can), Radway, Holley, or whoever else we have at receiver can fill as the third guy... then draft some kid.

There my thing. Robinson never made a play. He just waited for Romo to do it.

It was a running joke for us everytime romo would find LR. We knew it would inflate his rep and at the same time take away numbers from dez and the fact DEz is getting doubled

So nobody is concerned that Robinson has been injury prone throughout his carer and this was the only year he has not missed considerable time?

I would love to have him back but paying 4 million+ for a guy who has had only 1 healthy year gives me pause, I would not be giving out a big signing bonus at the least.

Without Romo, Robinson is the black Brian Hartline.

That's not a slight, I'm just saying if Brian Hartline had a decent QB he would put up Robinson numbers or better. And we need to realize Romo butters the receivers bread and we can plug and play with very similar results. i.e. I don't think Robinson makes Romo any better?
