LOS ANGELES — The Rams’ miscalculation regarding receiver Allen Robinson came with a price. A big one.
On Friday, the Pittsburgh Steelers officially acquired Robinson in a trade that essentially amounted to the Rams paying them to take the veteran off their hands after only one season.
In a deal that had been in the works since Tuesday, the Rams and Steelers swapped seventh-round picks in next week’s NFL draft — the Rams now have pick No. 234, the Steelers No. 251 — but the Rams agreed to pay about $10 million of the $15 million Robinson is owed from the three-year deal he signed with the Rams before the 2022 season.
