The Facts: Robinson is a candidate for a contract extension. Many players received them already before the totality of the COVID-19 effect set in on the sports world, but Robinson didn't. He's still due $15 million against the cap next year for the Bears, and after that it's anyone's guess what happens. "If something gets done, something gets done," Robinson said of a possible contract extension. "But at the end of the day that's left up to the Bears and my agent. But for me personally, to be quite honest, I don't really concern myself with that too much. I'm just looking forward to this 2020 season. I'm definitely excited for it. I'm definitely ready to get going. Whatever happens, happens."
Diehards Line:
Things could look different now for the salary cap with NFL teams after COVID-19. The end result of this could be an NFL with less money available under the cap and Robinson getting a smaller amount of cash. "You know I don't think necessarily that it will affect it," Robinson said. "I'm not 100 percent sure and I mean when I say affect it I mean as far as guys salaries and stuff around the league. I don't, I've been listening to my sister, who actually works in baseball and seeing what baseball is going through with their contracts in this part of the season and I don't think that for us as a whole in the NFL will go through anything like that, just kind of where I think where I think our league is set to start." As far as his timing on the football field with regards to his quarterback, Robinson is managing to stay on top of this despite the pandemic. The thrower of those passes has been Mitchell Trubisky. "I've been able to get on the field with Mitch quite a bit," Robinson said. Catching passes from Trubisky in the offseason doesn't exactly mean Robinson expects or wants to do this rather than catch passes from Nick Foles during the regular season. "To be quite honest, I think that I feel confident regardless," Robinson said. "I think it’s on the staff on what they want to see. Because it doesn't really come down to me." Whoever his trigger man is, it's safe to say Robinson would like to be working with a contract extension in hand.
