New England Patriots Robinson became an area scout for the
New England Patriots from 2002, a position he held until 2006, when he was promoted to a regional scout. In 2008, Robinson was promoted to the Patriots' assistant director of college scouting. The Patriots promoted him to director of college scouting in 2009.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers In 2013, Robinson took the position of director of player personnel for the
Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Tennessee Titans On January 14, 2016, Robinson was hired as the general manager of the
Tennessee Titans. He improved on the Titans' 2015 record of 3–13 to 9–7 in 2016. They missed the playoffs after a Week 16 road loss to the
Jacksonville Jaguars. On January 5, 2017, Robinson, while retaining his general manager position, was promoted to executive vice president. In 2017, the Titans once again went 9–7, but made the playoffs for the first time since 2008. They narrowly beat the
Kansas City Chiefs in the Wild Card, but fell to the New England Patriots in the Divisional Round. In 2018, the Titans went 9–7 again, but missed the playoffs in a Week 17 loss to the
Indianapolis Colts. In the 2019 offseason, Robinson signed
Kevin Byard, one of Robinson's first draft picks in his first season with the Titans, to a record-breaking contract that made him the highest paid safety in the league at that point in time. Robinson also made a bold choice to trade for quarterback
Ryan Tannehill, whose inconsistent play resulted in the
Miami Dolphins' choice to move on. Despite Robinson claiming Tannehill was brought in to be
Marcus Mariota's backup, this was done in the final year of Mariota's contract with the Titans and entered the 2019 season with no extension. After starting the season with a 2–4 record, head coach
Mike Vrabel chose to bench Mariota and make Tannehill the starting quarterback for remainder of the season. The Titans finished the 2019 regular season with a 9–7 record for the fourth season in a row and made the
playoffs. After beating both the
Patriots and
Baltimore Ravens in the Wild Card and Divisional Rounds, respectively, the Titans advanced to the
AFC Championship for the first time since the
2002 season. The
Chiefs would defeat the Titans with the final score being 35–24, ending the Titans' playoff run. Robinson's choice to trade wide receiver
A. J. Brown to the
Philadelphia Eagles on Day 1 of the
2022 NFL draft for a first-round pick (18th overall) and using that pick for
Treylon Burks instead of working out a contract extension with Brown was highly criticized. In Week 13 of the 2022 season, the Titans lost to the Eagles by a score of 35–10 and Brown recording eight receptions for 119 yards and two touchdowns. Two days after the loss, Robinson was fired by the Titans on December 6, 2022.
Miami Dolphins On February 23, 2026, it was reported that Robinson would join the
Miami Dolphins as a senior personnel executive under general manager
Jon-Eric Sullivan.
Post-executive career After being out of NFL for two years, Robinson interviewed for the general manager vacancy with the
New York Jets in December 2024. The Jets chose to hire a different candidate with him losing to
Darren Mougey. In February 2025, Robinson would interview for another general manager vacancy with the
Jacksonville Jaguars, but would lose out to
James Gladstone. ==Notes and references==
