Despite all the stagnancy and friction between the Bears and wide receiver Allen Robinson over his contract the last two years, there’s still an opening for the two sides to make peace.
Robinson still dreams of being the franchise’s all-time leading receiver and would like to stick around long enough to make it happen. The ongoing dispute over what he’s worth — Robinson has pointed to massive contracts for comparable players, and the Bears have consistently balked at his price — has not left him disillusioned.
“That’s something that’s definitely still in play,” he said of chasing the record Johnny Morris set in 1967.
