NFL free agency is right around the corner, with the two-day window for legal tampering beginning on March 15. Teams can formerly ink players to new contracts starting March 17.
For the Chicago Bears, it means the clock is ticking on what to do with Allen Robinson, who’s slated to be an unrestricted free agent unless the team slaps him with the franchise tag, which is still very much a possibility.
Bears fans certainly want to see Robinson back in Chicago in 2021, even if it means using the franchise player designation, a strategy that often creates a divide between the player and the team.
But this is business, and if it’s in the Bears’ best interest to do whatever it takes to make sure A-Rob is wearing navy and orange next season, so be it.
And let’s face it, where else are the Bears going to find a receiver who can make incredible catches like these:

Robinson led the Bears in receiving in 2020 with 102 catches for 1,250 yards and six touchdowns, all while catching passes from Nick Foles and Mitch Trubisky.
