Robinson's 2017 season came to an abrupt end after he suffered a torn ACL in Week 1. The 24-year-old Penn State product totaled 153 receptions for 2,283 yards and 20 touchdowns in 2016 and 2017.

NYDreamer Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2018/03/13/report-bears-set-to-sign-receiver-allen-robinson/ Report: Bears set to sign receiver Allen Robinson Posted by Curtis Crabtree on March 13, 2018, 2:36 AM EDT Getty Images The Chicago Bears got the quarterback they believe to be the future of the franchise in last year’s NFL Draft. They appear to have found a top-tier target to kick off free agency in 2018. According to Adam Schefter of ESPN.com, former Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Allen Robinsonintends to sign with the Bears when free agency officially begins at 4 p.m. ET on Wednesday. Per Josina Anderson of ESPN, Robinson said it’s a three-year, $42 million deal. Robinson missed all but one game last season after tearing his ACL in Jacksonville’s season opener. However, he had recorded 153 receptions for 2,283 yards and 20 touchdowns over his previous two seasons with the Jaguars. Robinson immediately becomes the most accomplished receiver on Chicago’s roster and gives Mitchell Trubisky a 6-foot-3 target that will still only be 25 years old when the 2018 regular season begins in September. Kendall Wright led Chicago with 59 receptions for 614 yards with one touchdown last season. No receiver had more than one receiving touchdown. Tight ends Adam Shaheen (three) and Zach Miller (two), and running back Benny Cunnhingham (two) were the only players with more than one receiving touchdown for the Bears last year.

KRL Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Too bad, he would've been a nice addition. But Robinson signing with CHI proves how much $$$ is a factor because GB supposedly was interested in him. And playing with Rodgers is a WAY better environment for a WR but I'm sure they didn't offer enough cash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
