At one point in time, the Chicago Bears were ready to make Allen Robinson one of the highest-paid wide receivers in the NFL. He’d just had another terrific season in 2020, going for 1,250 yards and six touchdowns. Chicago wanted to make him a focal point of their offense moving forward and made strong offers to extend him. However, the wide receiver held his ground in talks, believing he deserved to be among the league’s highest-paid. Chicago wasn’t willing to go that high, so they placed him under the franchise tag.
