The Miami Dolphins are in the market for a cornerback and Patrick Robinson, who played for the New Orleans Saints, is set to come play for the Dolphins. While the timing of the signing isn't known, we have been told that the move is expected to happen barring a breakdown in negotiations or increased interest from other teams. As we have seen already with Frank Gore, things can change quickly so nothing is truly official until the player signs on the dotted line.

Robinson was drafted in the first round by the Saints in the 2010 NFL Draft. Over six seasons, he has 180 tackles, 1 sack and 46 passes defended. According to Pro Football Focus, he had a 0.1 overall rating last year over 624 snaps. His run defense grade was 0.2 and his pass rush grade was -0.9. His pass coverage grade was -0.1. In 2013, Robinson was placed on injured reserve and missed 14 games after injuring his knee. He had missed six games in his career prior to that dating back to 2010.

Robinson can play both inside and outside so he definitely has the versatility the Dolphins need in the secondary. He will likely compete for a starting job opposite Brent Grimes but if the Dolphins lose Jimmy Wilson in free agency, he makes sense as the slot corner replacement.

Talk about this and all the other Dolphins' moves TONIGHT at 7:30 PM EST during our live podcast as we recap free agency and more. Chat with us and also speak in our Google Hangout. Click here for the link - don't forget to bookmark!

Hope its a 1 yr prove it deal. I'm just not that big on him, but its probabaly pretty cheap so why not.
 
Not a fan of this move. He better be strictly a slot guy, and be laid like one too.

Saints fans hated Robinson.
 
Don't really know enough about him. I know that the Saints D was horrible last year but obviously the guy was hurt so you can't blame him. I guess it's one less hole to fill, I hope we didn't pay Maxwell type numbers for him

ehh hoping someone with insight can make this sound like a good idea
 
Its probably a big offer. Nobody signs this early if not for top dollar
 
i hope not too expensive.... and i hope he works well with us.... work out Patrick... work out!!!
 
Yeah you usually don't get bargains on the first day of Free Agency
 
I love him if he is in the slot most of the time. I think the team needs to find SOME help from within and one of those guys have to be Jamar Taylor.
