Demarcus Robinson will have a second year with the Los Angeles Rams.

The Rams on Friday agreed to a one-year, $5 million deal with the wide receiver, per NFL Media's Ian Rapoport, after a quietly impressive 2023 from Robinson.

Robinson, the former Kansas City Chiefs and Baltimore Ravens receiver, caught 26 of 39 targets for 371 yards in his debut season with the Rams, tying a career-high with four touchdown receptions.

He averaged 14.3 yards per reception, with his explosive play ability reflected by Robinson's Expected Points Added (EPA).

Robinson averaged 0.32 EPA per target, per Sports Info Solutions, putting him tied with the Rams' rookie standout Puka Nacua. Of course, Robinson's sample size was much smaller than that of his teammate, with Nacua targeted 158 times in a stunning first year in the league.

That average put Robinson tied 23rd among wideouts with at least 25 targets.

Robinson proved himself as a useful third option behind Nacua and former Offensive Player of the Year Cooper Kupp.

For a Rams team hoping to carry its momentum from down the stretch last season, bringing back another reliable weapon for Matthew Stafford on a low-risk deal is a smart move.
