Chicago Bears: 5 players to include in a Deshaun Watson trade
By Ryan Heckman
Chicago Bears trade candidates for Deshaun Watson: Allen Robinson
This is where things get interesting for the Bears. Let’s look at Houston’s side, first. Almost a year ago, Bill O’Brien decided to completely pull the plug on this franchise by dealing arguably the greatest receiver in football, DeAndre Hopkins.
The Texans actually had a 1,000-yard receiver this season in Brandin Cooks. However, they also got a big year from Will Fuller prior to seeing him go down to injury. Fuller is set to become a free agent now, and he was by far their most effective receiver and downfield threat. Without him, the Texans will have to find another option to pair with Cooks and the rest of a ho-hum receiving core.
If Chicago wanted to, they could try and execute a deal including a sign-and-trade of Allen Robinson.

Before this season began, Robinson was set on getting a contract extension, but the Bears were unable to make that happen. All he did was go out and have one of the best years of his career this season while putting the Bears in a tough spot coming up.
Does Chicago use the franchise tag on him? Do they try their best on a multi-year extension? Better question: Does Robinson even want to be here anymore?
Getting Robinson into this deal would at least assure the Bears get something in return for him, rather than either losing him for nothing or battling it out over a franchise tag situation.
