With mandatory minicamps commencing this week league-wide, the Patriots made a notable transaction Monday involving a former 1,000-yard rusher entering his fourth NFL season.
New England waived running back James Robinson three months after signing him as a free agent, according to the NFL’s official transaction report. The move now leaves the Patriots with five backs, with Rhamondre Stevenson set for a lead role following the departure of Damien Harris.
Robinson, who tore his Achilles in 2021, inked a two-year, $8 million deal in March that, per ESPN’s Mike Reiss, “was structured in a way that protected the Patriots based on Robinson’s injury history.”
