Robinson was cut after the strike, and returned to finish out the season with the Richmond Ravens. After the season, he returned to Tennessee to complete his sentence. In February 1988, his agent said he was close to signing with an NFL team, but this never materialized. In 1989, he was arrested for parole violation charges. He joined the Virginia Storm of the Minor League Football System later that year. In 1991, however, he was arrested and convicted of forging stolen checks, and was sentenced to two years in prison. After his release in 1993, he returned to Tallahassee.
