Fred Robbins Signs With Rams: Unrestricted free agent defensive tackle Fred Robbins has signed with the St. Louis Rams. The deal is reportedly a 3-year, $12 million contract.
Robbins was a starter for the Giants for the past six seasons. He now re-joins Rams’ head coach Steve Spagnuolo, his former defensive coordinator with the Giants.
Jim Sorgi Visits But Does Not Sign: Unrestricted free agent quarterback Jim Sorgi, who was released by the Indianapolis Colts last week, visited the Giants yesterday. He also took a physical and it appears that there are concerns regarding a right shoulder injury that landed him on Injured Reserve late last year. Sorgi did not have surgery on the shoulder, but he is apparently experiencing some issues. The New York Post is reporting that the Giants felt Sorgi should have had surgery to repair a torn labrum that has been bothering him for several years.
“Their team doctor expressed some concern about the shoulder,” said Sorgi’s agent. “He’s fine. Our doctors said everything is fine. But our doctors aren’t the Giants’ doctors.”
“(Monday) morning after the workout I thought things were really looking promising,” said the agent. “But there are different doctoral opinions that are in the way. Jim feels good. Everything is fine on our end. But again, I can’t stress this enough, our doctors are not their doctors.”
“There’s interest on the Giants’ part,” said Sorgi’s agent. “And we’ll continue to talk. Nothing is imminent.”
