The Chicago Bears are reportedly planning to let receiver Allen Robinson II hit the open market.
According to Courtney Cronin of ESPN, it "hasn't felt likely" that the Bears would use the franchise tag on Robinson for the second straight year. The organization has until 4 p.m. ET on Tuesday to make a decision.
Robinson had a $17.9 million cap hit in 2021 after being franchise tagged, but using it a second year raises the price to 120 percent of the previous season's number. It would create a $21.5 million cap hit for the veteran on a one-year tender.
