The Rams came out of nowhere to sign Allen Robinson in free agency, swooping in and landing the top receiver left on the market. Given his talent and past production, Robinson probably had his share of suitors, but the Rams won out by giving him a great opportunity to win a Super Bowl and play with a proven quarterback.
Sean McVay was at the center of the recruiting pitch, too. At first, he didn’t believe the Rams could afford Robinson, telling Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated that in a recent interview.
“We won’t be able to afford him, no (expletive) way,” McVay told Matthew Stafford and Cooper Kupp when they pitched Robinson to him.
