The Bears added a bunch of pieces this year to hopefully take the next step, but who is likely entering their last season in Chicago?

7. Dominique Robinson, DE

Robinson is headed into his 3rd NFL season and we still have more questions than answers with him. Viewed as a raw athlete with major upside, he has yet to take a step and become a valuable piece to the roster. He has just two sacks in two years and now will be fighting for playing time with rookie Austin Booker who looks like a steal in the fourth round.

The Bears had a glaring need of pass-rush help opposite of Montez Sweat and made a trade for Darrell Taylor before finalizing their roster as well.

Robinson will still have another year remaining on this rookie deal, but the Bears can save $1.1M by cutting him before June 1st. That does not break the bank but can be money utilized elsewhere or perhaps another raw pass-rusher out of college.

He simply has not shown any progress that would make him a part of the plans of the Chicago Bears. In 242 snaps last season, he posted a PFF grade of 35.3 which was the lowest in the league among edge defenders with at least 200 snaps. The experiment is over.
