The best move for the Bears offense? Extend Allen Robinson’s contract
Bears receiver Allen Robinson runs the ball in the season finale.Maybe it was coincidence.
It probably wasn’t.
At 10:06 Monday night, Allen Robinson posted a GIF from his Twitter account of Will Smith sitting on the set of the “The Tonight Show.” The actor bites his fingernails nervously before clapping violently with a smile on his face.
Robinson had reason to cheer: 11 minutes earlier, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that wide receiver Amari Cooper had agreed to return to the Cowboys. The price: five years, $100 million, with $60 million guaranteed.
It was the richest contract for a receiver in NFL history, surpassing the $96.25 million deal the Saints gave Michael Thomas in July.
