Allen Robinson Reportedly Franchise-Tagged by Bears Ahead of 2021 Free Agency

The Chicago Bears will place the franchise tag on wide receiver Allen Robinson ahead of Tuesday's 4 p.m. ET deadline.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reported the decision, which was largely expected.

Robinson played out the final season of a three-year, $42 million deal he signed with the Bears in 2018. He has been a consistent bright spot in an otherwise inconsistent offense, recording 102 receptions for 1,250 yards and six touchdowns last season.

The Penn State product landed his first contract with the Bears while coming off a torn ACL suffered in the 2017 season.
