Allen Robinson to Chicago

[RealityIsLuck]

 

Top WR prospect off the board

[WoolMagnet]

Lets pull a Belichek and do a last minute push.

or he can go to chicago and get forgotten like all the other WRs.

[Indyfan4life]

Sounds like we’ll need to make a big move for him if that’s the case. 

[stitches]

I kinda wanted him... oh well. 

[bananabucket]

Would have gone nicely with TY.  Oh well I knew it was unlikely 

[Dark Superman]

Well, at least he's out of our division and conference.

How much cap space do the Bears have?

[Architects08]

Cool what other options are there for WR2?

Sammy Watkins, Terrelle Pryor, Paul Richardson, Moncrief...

Also....

 

Jordan Matthews and Marquis Lee.

 

For WR2,  that's about it unless there are some other surprise cuts in the next 36 hours....   like Dez Bryant.

 

One other thought....

 

I don't think of Moncrief as WR2...   I think he's more WR3...

Yikes, that sucks.

[Dark Superman]

Robinson got paid. Wow.

[Dark Superman]

Ballard should be trying to get Buffalo to add Benjamin to the Draft day mega trade

A-Rob won't turn 25 until late August so he can cash in second time in FA if he stays healthy.

[Hoose]

Wow. This is the guy I wanted for the Colts. But $14m/year? Never thought he’d get that. FA is EXPENSIVE today. Guess we’re looking at mid tier players. Got to adjust the expectations.

I'm feeling the same way. I was hoping for at least one bigger name at a needed position (Norwell or Robinson were my favorites), so far that doesn't look like it's going to happen. We have a lot of holes to fill on offense and defense, I would hate for Luck to walk in with LESS help than what he had before he got hurt. If we get an OL built, can't complain on bit though.

He's more like injured reserve.

I am guessing that CHI is his best offer because I am not sure why any WR would want to go to CHI and play in that RPO where Trubisky throws the ball 15 times/game.

[shasta519]

I think I would have done this deal for ARob. Much rather spend big on ARob than give someone like Richardson $9-10M.
