In a surprising move, the Pittsburgh Steelers have released veteran wide receiver Allen Robinson in order to save $10 million in salary cap space, according to a source. This decision comes as part of the Steelers' efforts to free up cap room and potentially make a big signing in free agency.

Robinson, who joined the Steelers last April via a trade with the Rams, played the entire season catching 34 passes on 49 targets for 280 yards. The Pro Bowl receiver, known for his impressive touchdown grabs, had an illustrious career with the Jacksonville Jaguars before becoming a Bear and eventually finding his way to Pittsburgh.

While the Steelers wanted to keep Robinson, it seems that they were unable to reach an agreement on reducing his salary. Robinson's presence in the locker room as a veteran spokesperson was valuable, especially for the young receivers in the team. However, with his departure, the Steelers will now need to find a suitable replacement to complement their receiving corps.

One potential landing spot for Robinson could be the New Orleans Saints. With only two wide receivers currently under contract, the Saints could greatly benefit from Robinson's Pro Bowl experience. His addition could guide and mentor the young receivers on the team, providing a different dimension to their offense.

Meanwhile, the Dallas Cowboys, who are expected to release veteran Michael Gallup, might also be in the market for a new wide receiver. Adding Robinson to their roster would provide relief for quarterback Dak Prescott, who has been heavily relying on CeeDee Lamb and Jake Ferguson. The Cowboys are making room in their salary cap in anticipation of the upcoming free agency, making them a possible destination for Robinson.

Lastly, joining the Green Bay Packers could be a dream scenario for Robinson. The Packers, under quarterback Jordan Love, are considered contenders, and adding a seasoned receiver like Robinson could further strengthen their chances. With young talents like Christian Watson and Romeo Doubs already in their wide receiver room, Robinson's experience could help develop them into a formidable unit.

As the Steelers look to move on from Allen Robinson, his release has opened up a world of possibilities for the talented receiver. Whether he ends up in New Orleans, Dallas, or Green Bay, there's no doubt that Robinson's contributions on the field and in the locker room will be missed by the Steelers.
