The relationship between the Los Angeles Rams and Allen Robinson has finally come to an anti-climactic end. 

According to reports, the Rams are working to finalize a trade to send Robinson to the Pittsburgh Steelers, and granted permission to Robinson to seek a physical with the team. Now, Robinson has passed that physical, making the trade to Pittsburgh official.

 The Rams will reportedly be sending Robinson and a seventh-round pick (No. 251) to the Steelers in exchange for another seventh-rounder (No. 234). 

Last year with the Rams, Robinson had arguably his worst season as an NFL player, catching 33 passes on 52 targets for 339 yards and three touchdowns in 10 games. Following the dismal and disappointing year, the Rams granted Robinson permission to seek out a trade and find a new home. And for good reason.  

Last spring, Robinson signed a three-year, $46.5 million deal with the Rams, with his contract carrying a cap hit north of $18 million for the upcoming 2023 and 2024 seasons -- clearly a situation the front office wants to avoid taking on. And with the trade, they will do just that, with Pittsburgh picking up $5 million of Robinson's Salary. However, the Rams will be forced to pay the remaining $10.25 million.

Now, with Robinson officially heading east to the Steelers, both he and the Rams will have a chance at a fresh start.
