The Vikings have lost their first unrestricted free agent, but it shouldn't come as a surprise because they made no real effort to keep him.
Cornerback Josh Robinson, who started 21 games in his four years with the Vikings, signed a one-year deal with the Buccaneers today.
Robinson was a third-round pick for the Vikings in 2012. He started six games as a rookie and 10 more in 2013. But at 5-foot-10, he did not fit what coach Mike Zimmer was looking for in an outside cover man. He started five games as the third cornerback in 2014 and was the No. 5 corner last season.
With Trae Waynes waiting in the wings and Terence Newman in talks to return for 2016, the Vikings were willing to let Robinson, a great athlete who might perform better in another scheme, leave in free agency.
