Despite missing the majority of the 2017 campaign due to injury, wideout Allen Robinson still believes he’ll get paid this offseason. Appearing on Mad Dog Sports Radio today, Robinson told the hosts that he doesn’t believe his ACL injury will keep him from earning a multi-year deal (via Josh Alper of ProFootballTalk.com).
Of course, it was likely that same ACL tear that kept the Jaguars from placing the franchise tag on the wideout. As Alper points out, some around the league were wondering if Robinson would have to settle for a one-year deal in order to reestablish his value in time for 2019 free agency. However, the wideout said conversations with his agent have led him to believe that he’ll definitely “get a multi-year deal done.”
While the wideout didn’t definitively name any landing spots, Alper points out that Robinson “reacted positively” when asked about the direction of the Bears and 49ers. The receiver also noted that he could end up back in Jacksonville.
The 2014 second-round pick has spent his entire career with the Jaguars, earning himself a Pro Bowl birth. Following a breakout 2015 campaign that saw him haul in 80 catches for 1,400 yards and 14 touchdowns, Robinson appeared to take a step back in 2016. The receiver finished that campaign with “only” 73 catches for 883 yards and six scores. He tore his ACL during his team’s Week 1 contest against the Texans.
He is going to Washington
Hope so
Already signed with Bears
I would love to see him come to carolina. Chicago could be an option though.
He can bet the house on that. The Bears for sure will offer him a multi year deal for sure. His agents have probably all ready received a few
I’m confident he will as well, hopefully Chicago
I think the Ravens and Bears get in a bidding war for this guy and one of them end up with him
The ravens have almost no cap space.
Also don’t feel like the ravens have ever been part of a bidding war for anyone
packers should sign him and cut or trade cobb
If they signed him they’d cut Nelson.
To sign Robinson they would probably jettison both Cobb and Nelson but they won’t sign Robinson
Packers have no reason to even be in this discussion. For one the packers don’t spend big money on FA’s. Not to mention they already have plenty of other areas needing help.
Please cut Cobb, he would be a stud on a team that knows how to use him.
J…E…T…S… JETS JETS JETS
I will admit it,I would love the name value and I want my niners to sign him. However I wouldn’t if it’s a huge bidding war. Personally I want to be able to do a contract we’re after a couple of years there is an out. Since it won’t happen I would rather just sit this one out. I guess if had more then 1 super season I might be more willing to,but he just seems huge risk all over the place.
He’s signed with the Bears. Good for them. Hear they are pushing hard for Watkins too..that would be huge if they got both
^This
3 years, $42 MM, $25 MM of that is guaranteed.
