. NFC. North. Chicago Bears. 4. player. 57

One team that could very well pop in 2018 in the NFC might be the Chicago Bears. Chicago has a top-10 pick in the 2018 NFL Draft. The Bears inherit a fourth-place schedule. They have their franchise quarterback in Mitchell Trubisky, surrounding him with two offensive-minded coaches in head coach Matt Nagy and offensive coordinator Mark Helfrich. Keep in mind that Chicago will be out the wazoo with cap space.

The Bears already have a solid defense with defensive coordinator Vic Fangio calling the shots. They also have several interesting players in the trenches on both sides of the ball. With $80,334,002 to spend this offseason, the third most in the league, expect the Bears’ roster to look vastly different in 2018. But will Robinson make his way to The Windy City?

Well, he did post this picture on his Instagram of him smiling on a stoop wearing a Chicago Cubs jersey. So you never know. Robinson did wear navy in college at Penn State, so maybe he’ll don that color professionally with the Bears? By going to the Bears now, Robinson could get paid a premium and join a team potentially on the come-up like Jacksonville had been during his rookie contract with the team.

However, there are so many uncertainties with the Bears franchise. Who knows how good Nagy will be as a head coach or if Helfrich’s collegiate style offense will adapt professionally? Trubisky is still raw and the Bears have never been an elite passing football team. Robinson could be intrigued by the Bears, but will need to get paid handsomely for him to go there.
