The Chicago Bears used the franchise tag Tuesday to retain wide receiver Allen Robinson II for the 2021 NFL season, per ESPN's Adam Schefter.
His tag comes with a projected one-year, $17.88 million contract, according to Spotrac. Brad Spielberger of Pro Football Focus provided a look at the salary-cap ramifications:
