Greg Robinson spent two seasons with the Cleveland Browns after being waived by the Detroit Lions towards the end of 2017. The 27-year-old Browns offensive tackle is now set to become an unrestricted free agent in the offseason with the Browns showing little intent to re-sign Greg Robinson, according to Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network. Robinson’s NFL future, therefore, remains shrouded in uncertainty after his arrest.

According to the federal complaint filed by the U.S. Department of Justice, Greg Robinson rented a vehicle in Los Angeles and arranged for a driver to take him and Quan Bray to Louisiana. However, when the vehicle was stopped, Quan Bray was at the wheel. While the driver remained unidentified, he reportedly told the authorities that Greg Robinson requested him to claim ownership of the marijuana in exchange for monetary remuneration. Following the Greg Robinson bust, the Browns OT will probably not be answering the 'How much is a pound of marijuana' question anytime soon.
