The Minnesota Vikings traded for a man named Cam Robinson last year when OT Christian Darrisaw tore his ACL, and the Cleveland Browns have traded for the same man in 2025 because OT Dawand Jones tore his LCL.
Former Minnesota Vikings offensive tackle Cam Robinson is on the move to the Cleveland Browns after a trade by the Houston Texans on Monday.
It’s a new arrangement — but the same — for Robinson, who is evidently a left tackle trade mercenary in the NFL.

<p><strong>Cam Robinson Traded from Texans to Browns</strong></p>
<p>It’s a done deal for Robinson, the Houston Texans, and the Browns. </p>
<p><em>CBS Sports</em>‘ Jordan Dajani wrote Monday, “The Cleveland Browns are adding some help on the offensive line, as they have traded for Houston Texans offensive tackle Cam Robinson, according to NFL Media. The deal reportedly includes a swap of late-round picks in 2027.”</p>
<p>“Cleveland.com recently reported the Browns were in the market for a left tackle due to injuries. Joe Flacco lost Dawand Jones to a season-ending knee injury in Week 3 and right tackle Jack Conklin has missed the last three games due to an elbow injury.”</p>
<p>The Browns play — you guessed it — the Vikings on Sunday in London, and Robinson could be ready as early as then.</p>
<p><strong>Robinson’s New OL Setup in Cleveland</strong></p>
<p>With Robinson in the mix, the Browns will showcase this offensive line fivesome, a group that the Vikings could encounter in England, depending on Robinson’s game-readiness by Week 5:</p>
<div>
<p>LT: <strong>Cam Robinson</strong><br />LG: <strong>Joel Bitonio</strong><br />C: <strong>Ethan Pocic</strong><br />RG: <strong>Wyatt Teller</strong><br />RT: <strong>Jack Conklin</strong></p>
</div>
<p>It’s also worth noting that other tackle, Conklin, has battled injuries so far this season.</p>
<p><em>Pro Football Focus</em> ranked the Brown’s offensive trenches as the NFL’s third-worst before Week 4. PFF’s Zoltan Buday explained, “Offensive tackle Dawand Jones left the Browns’ Week 3 game against Green Bay after just four snaps and is not expected to play again this season.</p>
<p>“His replacement, KT Leveston, gave up four pressures — including two sacks — and was beaten 10 additional times, leading to a paltry 15.5 PFF pass-blocking grade. The Browns’ offensive line didn’t hold up well against Green Bay pass rush. The group allowed 19 pressures — including two sacks — on 37 pass plays, leading to a 71.6 PFF pass-blocking efficiency rating (30th).”</p>
<p>The hope for Cleveland is that Robinson can help shove this ranking closer to the middle of the league. Otherwise, the season may be toast.</p>

<p>Why would Houston trade Robinson six months after signing him from free agency? After all, in March, he was on tap as the Texans’ left tackle solution.</p>
