       When news broke that the Bears were talking to free agent wide
       receiver Kenny Golladay, Allen Robinson quickly signed his
       franchise tender, fearing that the Bears would pull the
       franchise tag if they signed Golladay and that Robinson would
       end up having to settle for less than the $17.9 million
       franchise player salary.
       But Robinson’s signing doesn’t necessarily preclude the Bears
       from signing Golladay.
       Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports that the Bears are
       still offering Golladay a one-year contract in the range of $11
       million to $12 million and trying to sell him on the idea of
       playing alongside Robinson as one of the top wide receiver duos
       in the NFL.
       Robinson and Golladay together would give Andy Dalton a better
       pair of targets than Mitchell Trubisky ever had in his four
       years as the Bears’ starting quarterback. But it remains to be
       seen whether the Bears’ financial offer for Golladay is one he
       would accept.

       Most Bears fans would love a Bears WR trio of Robinson, Golladay
       and Mooney.  That would be top 5 in the league.
       BUT, why would Golladay want to take a 1 year deal, share the
       ball with a pro-bowl quality WR, go to a team with a very
       average journeyman QB and a manager and head coach on a hot
       seat?
       $ - there will be lots more cap next year.

       - A lot of players are doing 1 year deals for the exact reason
       you listed.
       - The Manager and Head coach are not on a hot seat.  As much as
       fans want them to be they are not.
       - The new TV deal just signed yesterday will make contracts go
       up significantly beginning next year is one of the reasons
       players are doing 1 year deals.

       On the Golliday thing...
       Bringing him in gets ARob to sign. The Bears may have just been
       kicking the tires thinking of rescinding the franchise tag on
       ARob.
       Playing opposite ARob means he may not face the #1 CB/double
       teams as much.

       Golliday wants $18.5 mil.  Bears offered $11.  Seems pretty far
       apart.

       At least Golladay is good & young.
       Surprised Pace would want him.

       Chris Simms said that the Bears never made that offer to the
       Seahawks, and that they just floated it out there to save face.
       He thinks they may still trade Wilson closer to the draft, to
       someone.

       On Russell Wilson - did either organization admit there was an
       offer and it was rejected?
       BTW, surprisingly Golladay is only a couple months younger than
       A-Rob, yet A-Rob had 3 more NFL seasons.
       Enough of this rumor shit, time to watch some NCAA basketball.

       Seattle has no plan to trade Wilson, they don't want to trade
       him, they have never expressed the slightest intention of
       trading him.
