Filed under: Chiefs, AFC WestThis is wonderful news for, well, Koren Robinson. According to the NFL Network (via ’s Jeffrey Flanagan), the Chiefs have shown interest in the former Seahawks and Packers wide receiver/return dude. “Oakland and Kansas City expressed some interest in Robinson … there isn’t exactly a clamoring for his services. Still, a receiver such as Robinson is too talented to overlook. Any team that needs some depth at the position - Dallas, Cleveland, — would consider Robinson.” This news certainly can’t make Al Davis happy given his recent epiphany. For the Chiefs, Flanagan points out that they’ve made it clear that players with the dreaded “character concerns” disorder are a no-go; Robinson certainly qualifies for the former which makes the latter seem unlikely, even though there is a gaping need for an experienced pass catcher on the roster after Dwayne Bowe.

MVN.com’s Chiefs blogger Ryan Brown offers some perspective: Rarely does someone seem to overcome their issues and their off-the-field problems entirely. … That’s one of the main reasons that the Chiefs got rid of fan favorite Jared Allen - he of the two-time DUI conviction. Allen appeared to have rid himself of his demons…and then promptly opened up a bar in Kansas City. And I’d say Allen’s troubles don’t even approach what Robinson has been through.

As far as rehabilitation goes, the Cowboys have become the Betty Ford of NFL franchises. Maybe they can help Robinson straighten out his life. Added bonus: they’re in the market for a No. 2 wide receiver. Two-for-one.
