ESPN.com AFC South blogger Paul Kuharsky provides **a thorough explanation of the latest news** on cornerback Dunta Robinson's contract situation. Robinson, who received the Texans' franchise tag in February, did not agree to a long-term deal with the Texans by the league's deadline of July 15.
Per league rules, the two sides are now prohibited from discussing a long-term contract until after the end of the Texans' regular season on Jan. 3, 2010.
