"The Chicago Bears are in a tough spot where they could lose their biggest offensive weapon this offseason. Wide receiver Allen Robinson is set to become an unrestricted free agent, and unless the plan is to franchise tag him it seems there's no interest in signing him long term. While appearing on the NFL Network, NFL Insider Tom Pelissero reported that there's no contract talks and there hasn't been since the season started. Pelissero said there's been zero talk since September and Robinson confirmed as much when he appeared on SiriusXM Radio saying he hasn't talked to the Bears in "some time" about a new contract. "That would certainly seem to bring the (franchise) tag into play," Pelissero said. "Whether it is the Bears to try to do an extension, whether it is setting up Robinson to play on the tag, or maybe even a tag-and-trade scenario."The Bears will be able to franchise Robinson between February 23 and March 9.
