NFL Free Agency 2018: 49ers, Bears appear to be favorites in Allen Robinson sweepstakes

After the Jacksonville Jaguars surprisingly decided not to place Allen Robinson on the franchise tag, the 24-year old wide receiver jumped to the top of the free agency market despite coming off an ACL injury.

Given the uncertainty of Michael Crabtree’s return, the only wide receiver locked in as a starter for the Raiders is Amari Cooper. This puts the Oakland in the market for another receiver and pairing Robinson and Cooper would make for a lethal combination. Unfortunately for the Silver and Black, it appears the San Francisco 49ers and Chicago Bears are the favorites to sign the coveted receiver.
