And the talk about Juju all stems from last year when we almost had him.

Spotrac estimates him getting 4/$65, Joel Corry thinks 4/$90.
So you're probably right.

Robinson 's contract year left a lot to be desired. 2021 was Robinson's worst NFL season (other than 2017 when he tore his left ACL in the Jaguars season opener). Robinson had 36 catches for 410 yards with one touchdown in 12 games, which can be attributed to an injury-plagued season where he never established chemistry with rookie quarterback Justin Fields .
Robinson should be the beneficiary of Williams re-signing with the Chargers for a reported $20 million per year and Godwin getting a second franchise tag from the Buccaneers. The disappointing season isn't going to change what the salary expectations should have been prior to playing 2021 for $17.88 million as a franchise player because Robinson had the NFL's fourth-most receptions (200) and receiving yards (2,397) over the 2019 and 2020 seasons.
A lackluster contract year didn't prevent wide receiver Kenny Golladay from his big payday in free agency last year, although his market was slow to develop. Nonetheless, the Giants signed Golladay to a four-year, $72 million contract (worth up to $76 million through incentives) with $40 million of guarantees.
