Free agent wide receiver Wan’Dale Robinson reached agreement Monday with the Tennessee Titans, reuniting him with offensive coordinator Brian Daboll, his former coach with the New York Giants.
Robinson will sign a four-year, $78 million deal that invoices $38 million guaranteed, agents Adisa Bakari and Jeff Whitney told ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
The Titans also added a new quarterback to back up Cam Ward, reaching agreement on a two-year deal with Mitchell Trubisky, his agents told NFL Network.
Robinson, 25, is coming off his most productive professional season, finishing with 92 catches for 1,014 yards and four touchdowns for the New York Giants.
He also led all wide receivers with 622 yards out of the slot. That just outpaced Amon-Ra St. Brown and Puka Nacua. His production out of the slot had Robinson looking squarely at the deal the Buffalo Bills gave Khalil Shakir last year. Shakir received a four-year, $53 million deal that could be worth up to $60 million, even though he never had a 1,000-yard season on his résumé.
This past season was a prove-it year for Robinson, and he showed throughout that he could also make plays on the outside and ran a more complete route tree, something he strongly petitioned for after the 2024 season when his 93 receptions resulted in 699 yards (7.5 yards per catch). Robinson averaged 11.0 yards per catch this past season and saw his air yards per target skyrocket from 4.86 to a more respectable 8.76. It led to better results, especially as Jaxson Dart‘s No. 1 target with Malik Nabers sidelined most of the season with a knee injury.
The Giants selected the 5-foot-8 Robinson in the second round of the 2022 NFL draft out of Kentucky. He suffered a torn ACL his rookie season but has played in at least 15 games each of the past three years. Robinson has accumulated 268 catches for 2,465 yards and nine touchdowns in his first four seasons in New York.
Trubisky, 31, spent the last two seasons backing up Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen, playing only when games were out of hand, coming in for kneel-downs at the end of wins and playing almost all of both Week 18 games with the team’s playoff fate largely decided in each season.
He also was with the Bills in 2021 as Allen’s backup. Trubisky’s three years in Buffalo are the only seasons of his career without a start as Allen has not missed a start since his rookie season in 2018.
The No. 2 overall pick by the Bears in 2017 spent four years in Chicago, starting 50 games and throwing 64 touchdowns and 37 interceptions, while completing 64% of his passes.
After his first backup year in Buffalo, Trubisky signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers, spending two seasons (2022-23} with the team. He initially earned the starting job coming out of training camp but eventually became the backup. As a Steeler, Trubisky appeared in 12 games, starting seven of them. He completed 64.1% of his pass attempts and threw eight touchdowns to 10 interceptions.
