Chicago Bears: Allen Robinson frustrated with new rumored policy

Chicago Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson chimed in via Twitter with his frustration and thoughts on a rumored new roster policy.

With plenty of changes happening around the NFL over the last few months, the Chicago Bears are learning to adapt. Players and coaches, along with facility staff, are having to take each day in stride as more and more changes continue to happen.

The most important part about all of this is the health and well-being of everyone involved in the organization. The second-most important?

Football season.

That’s it — everybody deserves a football season. After all we’ve endured the last several months, an NFL football season would help ease much of the pain.

While we continue to await the preseason’s fate, as some folks around the league believe there should be zero preseason games, we continue to monitor new and ever-changing rules and policies. One of those new rules could be a reduced training camp roster, which is a very real possibility, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Cutting down from 90 to 75 players is in the realm of realistic outcomes, and one particular Bear doesn’t like the idea. Allen Robinson took to Twitter, retweeting Schefter with his thoughts.

In Robinson’s defense, he makes a fair point. There will already be plenty of people in the building, and not just players. Going from 90 to 75 does not make all the difference in the world, safety-wise.

If the league wanted to cut down on the amount of bodies, they should place even more restrictions on the number of organizational employees allowed to be in attendance during camp. The last people who should have to suffer are the players themselves, especially those final 15 guys. Talk about a heartbreaking way to find out you’re cut — before you even get a chance to prove your worth.

Some of the players who could end up being on their way out, should this rule go into effect, could end up being difference-makers. Look, for example, at Robinson’s peers in the receiving room.

Newly-signed Ted Ginn Jr. and third-year pro Javon Wims might be two of the last guys fighting for a spot when it’s all said and done, so which one gets the boot? Is it the kid who knows the system already, or an aging veteran who still has yet to mesh with his new teammates and coaches?

This is a huge storyline, so I completely understand Robinson’s frustration. Some of these guys won’t even put on the uniform; not even for a day.

We will continue to monitor this situation as new rules and protocols go into place, but for now, I’m right with the Bears’ number one wideout. This would be a sad reality to have to live in, especially for 15 particular men and their families.
