The Minnesota Vikings lost left offensive tackle Christian Darrisaw for the 2024 season to an injury in the seventh game. The Vikings traded with the Jacksonville Jaguars for Cam Robinson, who stepped immediately into the vacancy.
On March 10, the Houston Texans traded five-time Pro Bowl left tackle Laremy Tunsil to the Washington Commanders. On Wednesday, the Texans signed Robinson, KPRC-TV in Houston and ESPN reported, to fill the hole in their lineup.
Robinson changes teams again for a one-year, $12 million contract, with incentives that could push its value to $14.5 million, KPRC reported.
Robinson won the Outland Trophy as college football’s best interior lineman as a unanimous All-American at Alabama in 2016.
The Jacksonville Jaguars selected Robinson in the second round of the 2017 NFL Draft. Robinson started all 91 regular-season and three postseason games that he played for the Jaguars at left tackle.
Jacksonville used its franchise tag to keep Robinson out of free agency after the 2020 season and tagged him again after the 2021 season. The second time around, the Jaguars were able to reach a contract extension with Robinson, signing the tackle to a three-year, $54 million deal that expired one week ago.
During his stay with the Vikings, Robinson played every offensive snap in all but one of his 11 games.
