03/06/2010 - Flowery Branch, GA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Atlanta Falcons announced the signing of free agent cornerback Dunta Robinson Saturday to what is reported to be a six-year contract worth $57 million.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that $22.5 million of the contract is guaranteed.
The signing could go a long way towards improving upon the Falcons' 28th- ranked pass defense last season with Robinson regarded as the best defensive back available at the start of free agency.
Robinson became an unrestricted free agent last week when the Houston Texans declined to place the franchise tag on their former first-round pick for a second straight season. He was selected 10th overall in the 2004 draft out of South Carolina and became an immediate starter on the right side of Houston's secondary. He had six interceptions in his first season and has 13 in six pro seasons.
Robinson started all 16 games for Houston in 2009 and totaled 64 tackles, nine passes defensed and one forced fumble. He was slowed by knee and hamstring injuries beginning in November 2007 and played in only 20 games from 2007-08.
He has since switched to the left side of the secondary and will most likely pair with Brian Williams, whom Atlanta re-signed to a contract extension on Thursday.
Robinson has amassed 393 tackles and 54 passes defensed in 84 career games, all but five being starts.
