NFL: DEC 27 Bears at Jaguars

A report last week indicted a long-term extension between Allen Robinson and the Bears appeared unlikely before the July 15 deadline. The sides have had no substantive talks in months.

Nothing has changed since.

Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports it appears Robinson will play on his $17.88 million tag for 2021 with a long-term deal not expected.

Robinson is one of seven franchise-tagged players who haven’t signed a long-term deal and have until Thursday to get a multi-year contract done. Otherwise, they will play 2021 on the one-year tender.

Robinson, 27, has 200 receptions for 2,397 yards and 13 touchdowns the past two seasons combined.

  1. If the Bears fail this season, Nagy/Pace are gone. Don’t sign it AL! Wait it out.

  2. He will be 28 next month. I wouldn’t sign him to a long term deal either. How many WRs over the age of 28 have been in the top 10 in yards or catches the last 20 years? The answer is not many. Have him play under the tag and get a 3rd round comp pick for him next year.

  3. Robinson obviously chillin’ until he sees A-Rod strut into TitleTown on July 27th. Allen knows the Packers are the Kings Of The North, and he knows the Bears have zero chance to get anything but a Wildcard berth at best. The Packers are stacked. Allen knows the Pack is going to go scorched earth over the NFC on the way to Cali in Feb.

    Tampa and Green Bay are the elite of the NFC once again. Everyone with a clue knows they will meet in the NFC Champ again. Allen Robinson makes it a cakewalk to Cali for the Pack.

    Will Robinson get his wish and join the #1 offense in Green Bay? Not probable, but know he wants in bad.

    ————————/—————————————————-
    In 2020, 6 of the Top 10 in receptions were 28 or older and 4 in the Top 20 in yards were over 28. In 2010, it was 6 reception leaders 28 or over and 5 leaders in yards 28 or over.
