The Facts: Earlier this week, there was a flurry of activity on Robinson's social media. He took down all references to the Chicago Bears, a show of frustration with the lack of action regarding his desired contract extension. He wanted to be paid. And teams noticed. Sources say that Chicago began receiving calls with potential trade interest for Robinson, which generally happens any time there are rumors of discontent. And the Bears not only brushed off those calls, but told teams they were not trading their star receiver, sources say.
Diehards Line:
Instead, the drama on Tuesday led to a renewed effort to get an extension done for Robinson. Chicago increased the offer they had on the table, and the two sides wound up exchanging offers. While nothing is imminent, there is now hope an extension gets done at some point. In fact, late Saturday night, the Bears checked off another big item on the to-do list, locking in running back and star special teamer Tarik Cohen on a three-year deal. Their only other pressing contract item is Robinson.
