Allen Robinson to sign with Rams, per reports

Allen Robinson is moving on. The former Bears receiver is signing a three-year contract with the Los Angeles Rams, according to multiple reports. ESPN and the NFL Network are both reporting a deal has been agreed to.

Robinson's new deal is worth a guaranteed $30.7 million and worth up to $46.5 million, according to the NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.

Robinson, 28, played four seasons in Chicago, originally signing a three-year, $42 million contract in 2018. The Bears franchise tagged Robinson in 2021 and paid him about $17.8 million on the one-year franchise tag.

He was the Bears' top offensive weapon for most of his time in Chicago. He had back-to-back 1,000-yard receiving seasons in 2019 and 2020. His production slipped in 2021 with rookie quarterback Justin Fields taking over. Robinson caught 38 passes for 410 yards and 1 touchdown last season.

With his new contract, the Rams clearly believe that Robinson's dip in production said more about the Bears' offense than it did about Robinson. He goes to a contender fresh off a Super Bowl victory. With receiver Odell Beckham Jr. hitting free agency, Robinson fills a clear need at receiver for the Rams, where he will team up with Super Bowl MVP Cooper Kupp.
