Stinger226 Posted March 5, 2021 Report Share Posted March 5, 2021 I personally think AROB is a top 5 or 6 best WRs in the league. Having said that, for the 18.6 mil it will take just to tag him this year should we? How about sign a Cory Davis made 6 mil last year, ( maybe 10 m) and Curtis Samuel who made 1.6 last year (6 mil contract for this year) and throw in a Phillip Dorsett 1.2 mil this year (3 mil contract). None are as good as AROB but gives us a upgraded WR room, for almost the same money. That way we can concentrate on upgrading the OL and a QB prospect in the draft.

Mongo3451 Posted March 5, 2021 Report Share Posted March 5, 2021 Hate it. None of them have ever done anything, with plenty of opportunity. I don't have any confidence that poor QB play will elevate anyone. Robinson is the proven go to guy for us. That's why he gets paid by someone.

BearFan PHX Posted March 5, 2021 Report Share Posted March 5, 2021 I think we will tag Robinson and trade him to the Jets for draft pick(s). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Corey Davis a lot and if it were up to me I would franchise and trade Arob. It will be a near-term step down, but its a deep WR draft so take a couple shots there. I would love a 2nd rounder for Arob in that scenario and that is possible - but my guess is maybe you get a 3rd this year and a 3rd next year or something.

Pixote Posted March 5, 2021 Report Share Posted March 5, 2021 I have to believe Arob is worth just as much to a team wanting a #1 WR as Stephan Diggs was when traded to Buffalo. It cost Buffalo their 2020 first-round, fifth-round and sixth-round picks and a 2021 fourth-round pick—Buffalo got a 2020 seventh-rounder in return. I would be unhappy if all we got for him was two 3rds, one this year, one next year. I see all of these teams getting huge dividends when trading blue chip players. We always get crap.

I think the issue is Diggs was more of a full market move - where as anyone signing Arob kind of has to play out the whole franchise thing and so that naturally lowers his value. Said another way - Bears don't have the same leverage Vikings did. If you look at Jarvis Landry - he is probably most recent/relevant comp - franchised & traded - and Dolphins got a 4th & 7th round pick for him. But Pix - I hope you are right - cause that would be way better. Leverage matters though - and the good news is - the FA WR crop is pretty thin - but the flipside is - this is a deep wideout draft.

Stinger226 Posted March 6, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2021 I think they end up tagging AROB because with the team in win now mode, why would they trade him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
