Decimated by injuries to their receiving corps, the Seattle Seahawks have signed Koren Robinson to a one-year contract.
They also traded what is believed to be a fifth-rounder to the Denver Broncos for wide receiver Keary Colbert. The pick could be upgraded to a fourth, depending on Colbert’s performance, according to a source.
The Seahawks cut Robinson after the 2004 season because of numerous off-the-field problems. Though he was popular with his teammates and had the support of coach Mike Holmgren, Robinson was let go. He bounced back with the Vikings in 2005, but a DUI led to an arrest and his eventual release. He was with the Packers in 2006 and 2007 and caught 37 passes in those two seasons.
If you’re in a big league and desperate for WR help, Robinson will probably have a significant role right away. The same goes for Colbert. Deion Branch and Bobby Engram are expected to return in Week 5, so both Robinson and Colbert will likely be relegated to backup duty, though it’s not unheard of for an injured player to miss his expected return date.

Robinson is certainly a gifted athlete and still has a few years left in him. I wished him the best when he was with us (Packers) and still do. He seems to have his personal crap squared away – I don’t know why, but I really want to see this young man succeed at some level.
