The deal is for four years with the standard fifth-year team option. It is fully guaranteed and worth a reported $13.9 million, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, and includes a $6.9 million signing bonus.

The 6-foot-5, 296-pound EDGE played five seasons (2019-2023) with the University of Missouri. Appearing in 43 total games, Robinson recorded 112 tackles, 13 sacks and forced one fumble.
Last season, Robinson competed in 12 games, racking up 43 tackles and 8.5 sacks. The Michigan native received first-team All-SEC honors in 2023.
Mizzou finished second in the SEC East with a 6-2 in the conference, going 11-2 overall and winning the 2o23 Cotton Bowl Classic.
Robinson joins a new-look defensive line group that begins with free-agent signees Justin Jones, Bilal Nichols and Khyiris Tonga. L.J. Collier returns to the desert after he was injured in the season opener a year ago, and the team also still has 2023 sixth-round pick Dante Stills.
The Cardinals have now signed 10 of their 12 rookies, which means only third-round running back Trey Benson and fourth-round safety Dadrion Taylor-Demerson have yet to sign.
