The Chicago Bears haven't ruled out the possibility of using the franchise tag on wide receiver Allen Robinson before next Tuesday's deadline.
"We have a ton of respect for Allen," general manager Ryan Pace told reporters Tuesday (h/t Josh Alper of Pro Football Talk). "We have to do what’s best for the Bears too. We consider everything ... No firm decision on that yet, but we know we have it at our disposal."
Robinson told NFL reporter Tyler Dunne in February that he was "not opposed to being back in Chicago" but he was also open to moving on from the organization.
