Former Las Vegas Raiders defensive lineman Janarius Robinson agreed to an undisclosed deal with the Kansas City Chiefs on Friday. Robinson will add depth and pass-rushing ability to the team's defensive line under coordinator Steve Spagnuolo. The 25-year-old former fourth-rounder (134th overall) by the Minnesota Vikings in 2021 out of Florida State made his NFL debut with the Raiders in 2023 and has just 13 tackles (seven solo), 1.5 sacks, four QB hits and one pass breakup in the last two years in Vegas over 16 games (three starts). The 6-foot-5, 260-pound defensive end was suspended for the final three games of last season for violating the league's substance-abuse policy. Robinson will merely be hoping to impress the coaching staff enough to earn a 53-man roster spot this summer in training camp.
Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Janarius Robinson was arrested and charged with misdemeanor driving under the influence after police received a call of an incident at a resort on the Las Vegas strip, according to records from the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. Police were called to the resort just before 6 am on Feb. 6 after a woman was struck by a car and pinned between two vehicles. The 24-year-old Robinson identified himself as the owner of the vehicle involved in the accident, and an officer wrote in the report that he detected "a strong odor of alcohol" emitting from Robinson and that "his eyes were bloodshot and watery." He was arrested after he admitted he consented to a field sobriety test, which he was unable to pass. Robinson was released and is expected to back in court on June 4.
