WR Allen Robinson wants out of Chicago. He's fed up with the Bortles and Trubiskys of the world.

I'd do it. For a 1st? In a heartbeat. He's our #1 WR from the get-go.
His $2M roster bonus has already been paid so it looks like he would cost $10,258,000 for the balance of 2020.
Since the start of the 2018 season, Robinson has a PFF grade of 90.3 against single coverage, a top 20 mark at the position. Edelman has the best figure among Patriots receivers almost 10 grading points lower at 81.7, and the only other two to have grades above 70 in that span are no longer on the roster. New England is crying out for a receiver that can win against man coverage and separate to help out their quarterback.
Robinson, for his part, has also never played with a high-level quarterback, dating all the way back to his high school career. In college, he was largely responsible for the myth that grew up around
Christian Hackenberg thanks to his stellar year during Hackenberg’s freshman season. In the NFL he first suffered through the
Blake Bortles era in Jacksonville before then seeing history repeat itself in Chicago with Trubisky.
Robinson has never had a poor season in the NFL despite having yet to play with a quarterback capable of elevating his play. He has six seasons with PFF grades of at least 69, and his best years have pushed that grade into the 80s. A PFF grade of 80 or more for a receiver is typically good enough to rank in the top 15-20 of all wideouts, but the difference between that and a top 10 spot can easily be attributed to the quarterback throwing him the football. Bortles and Trubisky don't rate very highly.

He's the kind of WR Cam loves to throw to. If he's not re-signed and leaves in the offseason he'll bring a 3rd round comp pick back to us. He may be just what we need to really click on offense. Since entering the league, only 62.0% of Allen Robinson's targets have been deemed "catchable." That ranks 95th out of 100 qualifiers.
