Top 5 Offensive Free Agents the Chicago Bears Should Pursue
By Ryan Heckman
1. WR Allen Robinson
Allen Robinson is atop this list for one simple reason: He’s the true number one wide receiver the Bears need. Since the likes of Alshon Jeffery and Brandon Marshall are long gone, the Bears have lacked that big body that can go up and grab contested balls.
Last year, Robinson missed the entire season due to a torn ACL. But, the previous two years he amassed 153 receptions for 2,283 yards and 20 touchdowns. Every player comes back from an ACL injury differently, but it should be noted that Robinson played all 16 games in the previous two seasons before missing 2017.
Robinson possesses everything Chicago needs in a number one option. His 6-foot-3 frame is big enough to control opposing defensive backs. He has great hands. His ability to get up into the air and pull down even the toughest catches ranks up there with the best in the league.
Pro Football Focus highlighted Robinson’s big play ability this weekend, tweeting out a pretty impressive graphic.

This is exactly what the Bears have been missing. Deep passes, big plays and game-changing moments. That’s what Robinson provides. If Pace and his team play their cards right, Nagy could very well be on his way to securing one of the most coveted offensive playmakers in free agency this year.
