Packers Rookie CB Cut… Then Dumped by Girlfriend 6 Hours Later — Fans Left Stunned


Posted August 28, 2025

GREEN BAY, Wis. – August 28, 2025

The Green Bay Packers made their final roster cuts on Tuesday, releasing a young defensive back once considered a promising developmental piece. But the heartbreak didn’t stop there — just hours later, his personal life unraveled too.

The decision came as part of the NFL’s 53-man cutdown deadline, a ruthless period when dreams are either realized or crushed. For Green Bay, depth-chart math in the secondary and special teams needs left little room at cornerback. 

That roster casualty was Micah Robinson, a 2025 seventh-round pick from Tulane whose elite speed turned heads throughout camp. Robinson was waived as the corresponding move to the Packers signing veteran linebacker and special-teams ace Nick Niemann.

Then came the second blow. According to sources close to the player, Robinson’s longtime girlfriend ended their relationship just four hours after the waiver call. The timing of the breakup magnified the emotional toll, turning what was already the toughest day of his football career into something far more personal.

In a private message that quickly spread among teammates, Robinson reportedly said: “Six hours after I was cut, the person I thought would always be there walked away too. Losing the Packers was hard, but losing her the same day… that broke me.”

The moment underscored the human side of the NFL’s cold business. Fans often see transactions and roster moves, but behind those headlines are lives upended, relationships strained, and dreams forced to take unexpected detours.

Robinson’s path forward remains uncertain. The Packers would reportedly like to bring him back to the practice squad if he clears waivers — a realistic option given his traits and the team’s interest in continuing his development. 

For now, Micah Robinson’s story is a reminder: in the NFL, heartbreak doesn’t always end with a phone call from the front office. Sometimes, it follows you home.

Chiefs Locker Room Erupts, Chris Jones Under Investigation for NFL Sports Betting in Jaguars Game - HC Andy Reid Hands Down Harsh Punishment
Kansas City, MO – The Kansas City Chiefs' locker room is in turmoil following an NFL investigation into defensive star Chris Jones over allegations related to sports betting. Jones, a multiple-time Pro Bowler, has been placed on non-disciplinary paid leave through Week 10, while head coach (HC) Andy Reid has imposed internal penalties after a suspicious performance in the loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. SOURCE: https://x.com/TheNFLDrop/status/1975574483990909165 The incident stems from a decisive play at the end of the game, where Jones – the Chiefs' top defensive tackle – appeared to "do absolutely nothing" to stop quarterback Trevor Lawrence from scoring the game-winning touchdown. According to sources, this lack of effort prompted the NFL to launch an investigation, suspecting possible involvement in betting, a serious violation of league rules. "He just stood there watching Lawrence run into the end zone like he was watching a movie," an anonymous teammate shared, reflecting the outrage in the locker room. Jones, 31, has been a cornerstone for the Chiefs since being selected in the second round of the 2016 NFL Draft from Mississippi State. With an impressive career including 3 Pro Bowls, 2 Super Bowl wins, and 75.5 sacks, he signed a 5-year, $158 million contract in 2023. However, this season, Jones has only recorded 2 sacks through 5 games, and his performance against the Jaguars has drawn sharp criticism from Chiefs fans on social media. HC Andy Reid reacted strongly, penalizing Jones by sidelining him from practices and requiring an internal explanation. "We do not tolerate any behavior that harms the team or undermines the integrity of the game," Reid stated post-game. "Our organization prides itself on discipline and trust, and while we await the results of the NFL's investigation, we'll handle this internally to ensure it doesn't distract from our goals. Chris is a talented player, but no one is above the standards we set here in Kansas City." Meanwhile, the Chiefs' locker room is described as "explosive" with arguments, as some players like Patrick Mahomes express disappointment but still offer support for their teammate. The NFL investigation is expected to continue, and if violations are proven, Jones could face a long-term suspension. The Chiefs, currently at 2-3, must quickly stabilize their roster ahead of their next matchup. Fans are watching closely, with many calling this potentially the "biggest scandal of the season."
