Short of including him in a deal for Watson or getting a 1st round pick back for him to draft one of this year’s top WR prospects (both unlikely) I can’t see us trading him. What makes the most sense with a tag has been and will continue to be for us to then see where Golladay and Godwin end up financially in the current year’s market and do a deal largely in like with those in terms of total dollars. Pace needs to win now - he’s not trading away his best passing game asset without a massive return. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If The Bears really want to move into the top 10 I could see the Jets, Dolphins, and Eagles being interested in him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dll2000 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 I don't like him because of cost demands, but I am surprised no one here is pounding table for Dak P. or even talking about him. He could be a straight free agent that only costs money. A lot of money, but no draft picks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZBearsFan Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 An outside-the-box trade thought: Robinson for Golladay Both are getting tagged. Robinson is from Detroit. Golladay is from Chicago. Golladay is the closest to Robinson amongst alternative WR options to ARob. Unrelated: Golladay has been in the league 2 less years yet is only 3 months younger than Robinson.

If Prescott becomes a free agent, the Bears need to trade Hicks, Fuller, Trevathan, the guy who paints the yard stripes, WHOEVER, just so they can sign him. Worry about building a full team next year. Deal with a six win season in 2021. Roll with Dak. I'd say that subject is kind of a thread of it's own, though... Edited February 16, 2021 by Heinz D.

Tagging him isn't going to make him want to cut a team-friendly deal. He could easily wait it out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonserinNC Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 I honestly like the idea of tagging him. I feel like for some reason he is under appreciated by Bears fans. He is a top 5 WR in almost every category and that is playing with Foles and Trubisky. You guys are acting waaaayyy too casual about losing him.

HuskieBear Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 ive been saying for months i think the thing that has the best chance of happening is a tag and trade, thereby getting the return this year as opposed to a potential comp pick. with how the salary cap is going to affect teams ability to sign players, there are no guarantees. yes, i would have much rather signed arob to a long term deal a year ago, but here we are, and i'm not entirely sure paying a WR 20/year is the wisest choice without a qb to get him the ball. either draft his replacement with whatever draft pick we get for him, or, if we use him to trade for a qb - then grab an OT with our 2nd and make WR our #1 priority next offseason. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm fine with him aborting this sinking ship and not wasting his career here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Robinson but let's be real now he's not a top-5 NFL WR. Top-10 sure but off the top of my head he's not better than guys like Hopkins, Julio, Adams, Thomas & Evans 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topwop1 Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 I think the tag is what we can all expect at this point for Robinson with the report of there being no communication between the two sides on a long term deal since early last season. At the very least tagging him allows them to see if another team makes an offer to trade for Robinson's rights if say they don't intend on keeping him for next season but as it was mentioned before it's hard to envision Pace & Nagy just letting their best offensive player walk in what's a must win year for them...

When I think “team-friendly deal” I think taking less than market level. He absolutely should expect and get a market level deal... and doing so can be structured in a team-friendly way.

He doesn't come off as being the type to do this but I wouldn't put it past him or blame him if he did. The FO should've handled this a year ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
