When your offense is built around a star quarterback, you can’t have too many talented pass receivers.

The Rams rode that theory to a Super Bowl championship and look as if they plan to do it again.

The Rams announced Thursday they have agreed to terms with former Chicago Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson on a three-year contract reported to be worth $46.5 million, of which $30.7 million is guaranteed.

Robinson, 28, was a free agent after a disappointing season by his standards in 2021, when a hamstring injury limited the ex-Jacksonville Jaguars second-round draft pick to 12 games, 38 catches, 410 yards and one touchdown.

Before that down year, he was ranked as the 87th-best player in the league in the NFL Top 100 voting by his peers, having caught 102 passes for 1,250 yards and six touchdowns for the Bears in 2020.

In his best season, Robinson caught a league-leading 14 touchdown passes for the Jaguars in 2015 and was voted to the Pro Bowl.

Now he’ll be catching passes from Matthew Stafford, the best quarterback he has had.

The Rams might have been expected to make their first acquisition of the NFL’s free-agent signing period an outside linebacker to replace Von Miller, who was signed away by the Buffalo Bills on Wednesday.

Instead, they added to a wide-receiver corps that already includes NFL Offensive Player of the Year and Super Bowl MVP Cooper Kupp, Robert Woods and Van Jefferson and a few promising younger players, and could have Odell Beckham Jr. if the Rams re-sign the free agent.

Is that too many receivers for Stafford to keep happy?

That was a fear last year when the Rams signed DeSean Jackson in March and again when they signed Beckham out of an unhappy situation with the Cleveland Browns on Nov. 11.

But Jackson lasted only seven games before the Rams waived him, and Beckham became not an extra piece but a vital fill-in when Woods suffered a season-ending knee injury Nov. 13.

Woods is expected to be ready for training camp, while Beckham is expected to miss the first half of the regular season.

The Rams know Robinson well.

They’ve game-planned against him when they’ve faced him each of the past five seasons, unusual for a non-NFC West opponent.

The Penn State product was a teammate of Rams cornerback Jalen Ramsey with the Jaguars before going to the Bears as a free agent in 2018 on a three-year, $42 million contract.

Before the Rams beat the Bears 34-14 at SoFi Stadium on opening night in 2021, a game in which Robinson had six catches from Andy Dalton and Justin Fields for 35 yards, defensive coordinator Raheem Morris called him “a premier receiver in this league for a long time.”

“He does some things very, very well,” Morris said. “He’s a great isolation player. He’s a great player in third down.

“They’re going to try to get him the ball in his hands, particularly in the third-down situations, particularly in situations when you have to have (the first down).”
