Aldrick Robinson
Meet Your New Vikings Receiver
The Vikings signed former Washington, Atlanta & 49ers receiver Aldrick Robinson the day after Laquon Treadwell had a dreadful game against the Packers, somehow despite scoring his first touchdown as a pro.

Robinson was with Washington from 2011 to 2014, so he was teammates with Cousins for three years. That familiarity should help him make the transition to his new team smoother, if not quicker.
It also begs the question of how much influence Cousins had on this roster move.
Vikings.com writer Lindsey Young points out that Aldrick is among the fastest players on the roster; he was timed at 4.43 40 yard dash during the 2011 scouting combine.

Cut treadhead loose Robinson could go outside and put Thielan in the slot and maybe draft another receiver.
