There’s another hit to the New Orleans Saints defense, with NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reporting that Patrick Robinson has chosen to retire from the league. Robinson was the likely starter at cornerback opposite Marshon Lattimore for Week 1, but he’s stepping away from the game after 11 years in the NFL.
Initially drafted 32nd overall out of Florida State, Robinson went on to appear in 123 regular season games, 84 of them with the Saints. He spent a few years traveling the league before winning a Super Bowl ring with the Philadelphia Eagles and returning to New Orleans, where he’d been a backup.
Now he gets to go out on his own terms. Robinson turns 34 in September and should get to enjoy good health in retirement. As for the Saints — their already-big need at cornerback just became even more important.
