Where might Chicago Bears free agent wide receiver Allen Robinson land in 2022 NFL Free Agency? We take a look at three ideal spots.
The 2022 NFL Free Agency frenzy is just over one month away, and some of the top players in the league could be changing teams in the very near future. Wide receiver Allen Robinson has been in the league since 2014 playing for the Jacksonville Jaguars and Chicago Bears.
Do you think this guy is ready for a competent quarterback getting him the ball?
Even though he’s already been in the league for eight years, Robinson is poised to head into the 2022 season at the age of 29, so he should not only be able to find himself a better situation in 2022, but also a pretty good contract.
Allen Robinson should have great options in 2022 NFL Free Agency
Allen Robinson will undoubtedly be looking for a strong fit in 2022 NFL Free Agency and because of the increase in the salary cap, he should be able to find himself a great spot rather quickly.
I don’t think going back to the Chicago Bears, even with a new coaching staff, should be at the top of Robinson’s list. He needs a change of scenery and either a stable situation at QB or a great offensive mind that will manufacture his targets.
Allen Robinson destination #1: Cleveland Browns
The Odell Beckham Jr. trade was an absolute failure for the Cleveland Browns. As of right now, Jarvis Landry is the team’s top option in the passing game and the wide receiver position could be completely reset this offseason.
Kevin Stefanski’s offense obviously emphasizes the running game, but there is undoubtedly space for a player like Allen Robinson to shine in Cleveland.
With Baker Mayfield at the quarterback position, would Robinson really want to go to a shakier situation like this?
Maybe.
The Browns have close to $30 million in cap space and they undoubtedly have a need at the position. Mayfield is imperfect but perhaps having a target like Allen Robinson to get the ball to would help get him that new contract and solidify his status as the Browns’ franchise QB.
Allen Robinson destination #2: Philadelphia Eagles
To many NFL fans, the Philadelphia Eagles took an unexpected step forward in the 2021 season.
Jalen Hurts looked like he might be able to solidify himself as the QB of the present and future. DeVonta Smith established himself as the WR1 in the Eagles’ offense and this team was able to rest starters in the final week of the season with a playoff berth clinched.
Even though this roster looks drastically different than the one that won a Super Bowl just a handful of years ago, the Eagles appear to be on the upswing.
Allen Robinson would represent a much-needed upgrade opposite DeVonta Smith as the Eagles have not gotten what they hoped for from former first-round pick Jalen Reagor.
In addition to bringing some experience to the table, Allen Robinson would bring a nice contrast in style and obviously size with DeVonta Smith, and he can dominate some of the one-on-one matchups he would get with Smith really drawing a lot of attention.
Robinson played his college ball at Penn State, so he could return to the state of Pennsylvania to play the final “prime” years of his NFL career and help get the Eagles back into Super Bowl contention.
This kind of move would be great for the development of Jalen Hurts and could be a huge difference-maker for the Eagles.
Allen Robinson destination #3: Miami Dolphins
Well, we said we could get Allen Robinson a destination with some stability at the QB position, and so far, we’re 0-for-3.
I tried to combine the top situations for Robinson while also looking at situations with the top cap space in the NFL.
As of this particular moment, no one in the NFL has more cap space in 2022 than the Miami Dolphins.
The Dolphins made the shocking decision to fire head coach Brian Flores after two winning seasons with the team, but as time has gone along, the differences between the Dolphins and Flores have become apparent.
It seems like Tua Tagovailoa was an obvious point of contention, but Flores also couldn’t find any viable solution at offensive coordinator. The Dolphins decided to go after one of the most underrated head coach candidates on the market in 49ers offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel.
McDaniel, who used to ride his bike to Denver Broncos training camp, has been a disciple of the Shanahan offense for almost two decades. A Yale graduate, McDaniel has worked with some of the best offensive minds in the NFL and knows how to get playmakers involved in the offense.
Allen Robinson would join Jaylen Waddle in Miami and give the Dolphins a big-time duo at the wide receiver position for the immediate future.
