Chicago Bears 2021 Roster Turnover: Will the wide receiver room lose their number 1?

The Chicago Bears have a big decision to make in less than a month in regards to their number one wide receiver, Allen Robinson. He and the Bears were unable to come to an agreement on a contract extension as he played out the final year of his deal in 2020, so the franchise tag is an option.

The window to tag a player opens on February 23 and closes on March 9, and if the Bears use the tag on Robinson he’ll make around $18 million in 2021.

Chicago could very well have an agreement in place to acquire a new quarterback by then, so depending on the cost and the quality of the QB, we may see some more talk of an extension between A-Rob and the Bears.
