While the Chicago Bears still have one game left in what’s been a miserable 2019 season, talks have already turned toward the offseason. There will be plenty of issues that need to be addressed, but ranking towards the bottom of that list is wide receiver.
Still, receiver Allen Robinson, who has been the lone bright spot on Chicago’s offense this season, is planning ahead to an offseason where he’s focused on getting Bears receivers primed for 2020.
Speaking with the media on Thursday, Bear offensive coordinator Mark Helfrich said that he overheard Robinson orchestrating offseason workouts where Bears receivers would go to live with him and train for next season.

This wouldn’t be the first time Robinson has taken to offseason preparation. He did the same last March when he flew to Huntington Beach, California, to work with Bears quarterback Mitchell Trubisky, as well as fellow receivers Taylor Gabriel, Javon Wims and Marvin Hall to fine-tune and perfect passing routes.
Bears receivers that figure to be in attendance include Anthony Miller, Javon Wims, Riley Ridley, Cordarrelle Patterson and Taylor Gabriel, who could be a potential cap casualty this offseason.
You’d assume that Trubisky will also be in attendance. While Trubisky’s future in Chicago is in question, he will still be the Bears starting quarterback heading into this offseason.
Following an embarrassing output on offense, there’s much work to be done for this unit to make significant strides in 2020.
