The Pittsburgh Steelers are making a big addition to their offense. Los Angeles Rams WR Allen Robinson is headed to Pittsburgh to take a physical, and assuming all goes well, he will be heading to the Steelers in a trade, per Adam Schefter of ESPN.
Robinson's time with the Rams seemed to be over after just one year when he was given permission to seek a trade, and that trade has finally been agreed upon. The trade compensation is now out, and the main part of this trade is the Rams getting rid of some salary.
Trade terms agreement:
šSteelers get WR Allen Robinson and a 7th-round pick (No. 251).
šRams receive 7th-round pick (No. 234).
Rams pay $10.25 million of Robinsonās salary; Steelers pay remaining $5 million. Robinson is scheduled to be in Pittsburgh for a physical Wednesday.

Robinson joined the Rams last offseason after a couple of solid seasons with the Chicago Bears. However, Robinson caught just 33 passes for 339 yards and three scores in 10 games as a Ram, and there were plenty of injuries across the roster that played a part in their struggles. Nonetheless, the Rams are moving on from Robinson, and Pittsburgh is quite the landing spot if all goes through.
Robinson's contract likely prevented teams from making a move, but the Rams have paid $5 million of his salary already.
WR Allen Robinson is due $15 million guaranteed this season, of which the Rams already have paid $5 million. It is expected that the Steelers will pay a portion of the remaining $10 million to Robinson, per sources.

If the Steelers add Robinson, he will join a group that features Diontae Johnson and George Pickens with Pat Freiermuth at tight end and Najee Harris at running back, giving Kenny Pickett a flurry of options to choose from on offense.
Robinson is still only 29 years old, and maybe joining the Steelers will give him a chance to have a bit of a carer resurgence after a disappointing run with the Rams.
