Whether you hate Robinson, love him, have indifferent sentiments about him, agree or disagree about his talents, 27 M is not ABSURD, it's the MARKET. It is what the market brought in admittedly an uncapped year of FA which is a wildcard element that perhaps inflates the going market rate of a normal capped year ?

Dunta and his agent played it out right for them. If the rumors were correct and he turned down 23MM from the Texans, now he gets 27MM guaranteed, then it is well played by them.

I wish he was back here, but understand why this might be the best for all involved and also hope he is happy going back home. Nobody can fault him for that after so many clamour for every State of Texas product to come here.

While #23 was not the same player last year as he was prior to his injury, I have no doubt that he played as hard as he could while he was here. Good luck #23, and thanks for the heart and desire, you sir, are a football warrior.

I heard the offer last summer off injury was 23M, but this spring was 33M and he didn't like that either. He was determined to go. I thought Dunta had become a dissatisfied player and distraction and if he wanted to go, that is best for everyone. And he did have lots of heart. I also think he won't earn the money which is fairly typical of these big free agent deals, many don't pay off, of course some do, and teams need to try and improve.

The Atlanta Falcons have signed free-agent cornerback Dunta Robinson(notes), the Houston Texans’ career interceptions leader, to a six-year, $57 million contract.

The team confirmed the deal on Saturday. It was reported Friday that the Falcons and Robinson had agreed to terms.
