Chiefs Release Robinson

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The Chiefs parted ways with veteran defensive back Dunta Robinson, who never quite lived up to expectations last season, and signed CFL wide receiver Weston Dressler on Friday.
Robinson was just one year into a $13.75 million, three-year deal that the Chiefs hoped would provide a veteran presence in what became a vastly retooled defensive backfield.
Instead, Robinson was slowed by a series of nagging injuries and appeared in only nine games, making 14 tackles and defending just two passes. He was also part of a defense that was torched by Indianapolis wide receivers in a loss that knocked Kansas City out of the playoffs.

I was surprised when the Falcons gave him a chance and I was surprised when Kansas City gave him a chance. I don't know what teams see in him, he's giving up so much everytime he steps on the field. I guess teams hope he regain that form from early in his career?

The relevant signing here is Weston Dressler. He's likely past the point of his physical prime, though. He should have been in the NFL long before now.
