Re-signing WR Allen Robinson should remain offseason priority for Bears

Allen Robinson has been the most consistent offensive player for the Chicago Bears since his arrival in 2018.
Robinson has posted back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons for the Bears.
It should be a no-brainer for the Bears to lock down Robinson long-term — especially to give their young franchise quarterback a top receiving target.
The Bears have until July 15 to sign Robinson to an extension before his $18 million franchise tag goes into effect
