The franchise tag deadline is set to be today at midnight, which means the Chicago Bears will have until the end of today to decide whether or not they are going to let Allen Robinson walk into free agency without a tag.
The Chicago Bears are trying to make a decision, but one of the bigger factors impacting this is that they do not have a definitive salary cap number. Once the Bears place the tag on Robinson, the move immediately impacts their salary cap. Working on a salary cap floor could be a different picture than what the salary cap is.
