Gotta re-sign Arob now.

[msadows]

Zero way you can march out fields in 2022 with Mooney being your #1.

 

[Chicagosports89]

Still indifferent. Hes replaceable

 

[HearshotKDS]

They got another year of the tag if they need it, but unless they draft another WR who has a Moonie like rookie season you probably need to figure out how to retain Robinson at least into 2022.

What if they find another good WR today? I mean I'd love AROB back but without knowing what he's asking in pay...

ARob is replaceable and honestly overrated at this point. If they draft a good WR this year, Mooney takes the next steps and so do other guys like Kmet, I hope they let him go and put that money elsewhere.

 

[TecmoSuperbOwl]

I mean if they can flip someone else to generate some draft capital, and that frees up the space necessary for an extension I'm all for it.

I agree with this. If the Bears draft a Wr today who at least shows he can play, I think you move on from ARob. Fields doesn’t need a big possession Wr to succeed.

 

[Spitta Andretti]

hopefully we get enough of a view of the fields/arob connection before getting rid of him

 

[legendxofxlink]

AR is a good wr. He’s far from irreplaceable with the WRs colleges are pumping out

IT DOESN"T MATTER WHAT YOU"D LOVE @Montucky SAID THAT AROB IS GOING TO HOLD OUT UNTIL HE GETS PAID

lol please show me this pipeline of receivers coming out of college that the Bears cannot find? You know what you have in Robinson why are so many of you hell bent on not seeing that? You're OK with over paying for Quinn, Danny T, Charles fucking Leno but when it comes to probably the most important position on the field outside of the hashes y'all get cheap?

Bears fans. EDIT: Remember, our 2022 1st is gone as is our 4th.

Nobody is ok with overpaying for Quinn, Danny, etc.

I'd be nice to not overpay for another guy who's replaceable.

 

[Toast88]

They'll be able to pay Robinson next year. They have financial options.

Hicks, Quinn and Dalton can come off the books.

You can part ways with Foles and save $7 million.

The salary cap will go back up.

Go look at 2022 FA and tell me who's going to replace Allen Robinson for the salary he's asking. Guess what, he's the top FA in 2022 class. You think you're going to draft a replacement in round 2-3 or 5/6/7 LOL?

Actually it's not that crazy of a thought. The WR classes recently, including this year are full of talent. They might not be as great as ARob right away, but if they're near his level, I'd rather have that at a fraction of the cost.

ARob isn't worth top #1 WR money, he just isn't.

'including this year' you mean the guys who've yet to catch a pass? Are you for real? 'might not be as great as Arob right away' is exactly my point. Why set the team back a few years over 3-4 MIL which they waste on Chase Daniels, Nick Foles, Trey Burton, Mike Glennon contracts.

 

[modo]

Not seeing a downside to signing him.....If Fields takes the reins, next year could be a Superbowl opportunity

 

[Anytime23]

Have we found out what Robinson actually wanted in terms of years/money? It feels like there have been a thousand takes on this but i don't remember reading anything factual.

Two wrongs don't make a right. I'm all for not wasting money on shitty players or overpaying for decent ones.

What do you mean am I for real, what don't you get about my comment? Look at the past couple years WR classes. Studs everywhere. This year is expected to be just as good or if not better.

Is it that crazy to think that the bears can't draft a stud WR this year that could develop to a good/very good WR over the next couple years?

Of course nothing is guaranteed. That's why you draft them and see how they develop. If they don't, throw some $ at ARob or another FA, but there's no need to sign him long term now (other than cap hit), just not worth it IMO.

 

[Butkus34]

At this time, the only reason to sign A-Rob to a longer contract would be to bring down the cap hit to help with being up against the cap.
