The future of Chicago Bears star receiver Allen Robinson has been on the air since September last year, which was also the last time contractual talks took place between the two sides.

When the Bears put the franchise label on Robinson back on March 9, it was no surprise after hearing GM Ryan Pace talk about Robinson’s importance to the team, with no real progress in signing him for a long-term extension.

Robinson had been hesitant about signing his franchise label, which made sense given the lack of progress on a new contract. But after some initial hesitation, Robinson signed his franchise label, according to Ian Rapoport.

So why the sudden change?

According to Brad Biggs from Chicago Tribune, Robinson noticed that the large recipients were not just throwing money into the free agency. So why not take the $ 18 million payday and wait another year to enter the open market.

Biggs also noted that Robinson “does not believe that accepting the labeling will affect his leverage for a business for many years.”

Biggs doesn’t expect this to be a “etiquette and exchange” scenario, which is interesting, given that Pace and head coach Matt Nagy met with Kenny Golladay on Wednesday night, who was free to discuss them. examine the options in the receiver position.
