dll2000 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 I'd take Cooper over Robinson personally because of big play capability that is so important. Cooper is more of a head case though I suspect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However they are two different players and Cooper was given that deal when things were in a better place financially with the league cap This is a different year and I still believe teams will be reluctant to dish out huge long term deals like that with the cap being lower and not many teams competing for the same free agents In a normal year Robinson would probably fetch that among multiple bidders...I just don't know if this is the best year for him to be testing those numbers We'll see but I don't think Bears are being stupid with they way they've handled this if it's true that Robinson's demands have been astronomical Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has every right to try and get as much money as he possibly can. Personal opinion I just don't think he will get $100M in this year's FA period especially if and when Bears tag him.

WindyCity Posted March 3, 2021 Author Share Posted March 3, 2021 Robinson sure is putting the full court press in the media on wanting out and not to be tagged. He was on with Collinsworth talking about how much he loved NY and trains there in the offseason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would do well and get paid...just not sure he'd meet his other goals of winning a SB and reaching the HOF...Jets aren't exactly known for being a great franchise..even tho I would agree they have alot to look forward to with high/multiple draft picks and a new coaching staff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im thinking that if he really wanted to be here I'm sure we'd hear more talk between the two sides by now. Seems like Pace & Nagy want him to be here. Not sure the feeling is mutual Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
