Allen Robinson signs to become the highest-paid Nittany Lion ever | Centre Daily Times

Allen Robinson is leaving Jacksonville for the Windy City.

The former Penn State wide receiver intends to sign with the Chicago Bears, according to multiple reports. The deal is reportedly worth $42 million over three years, which would make him the highest-paid Nittany Lion ever in the NFL — eclipsing Tamba Hali’s $12.25 million base salary in 2013.

Robinson, who’s coming off an ACL tear in 2017, was still the No. 1 wideout on the market. The Penn State pass-catcher put up 1,400 yards and 14 touchdowns two seasons ago and is still only 24 years old.
