3 teams that should sign Allen Robinson next offseason
By John Buhler
The Indianapolis Colts may need a replacement for T.Y. Hilton at wide receiver
After missing out on the Julio Jones sweepstakes in-division to the Tennessee Titans, the Indianapolis Colts could be in the market to add a wide receiver next March. This would especially be the case if they are unable to bring back long-time wide receiver T.Y. Hilton on a new deal. No team in the NFL has more available cap space ahead of 2022 than the Colts at over $81 million.
The other big factor here is they will be especially thin at receiver if Hilton leaves. Parris Campbell and Michael Pittman Jr. would headline the room, but they are largely unproven. While the Colts are stacked in the backfield and along the offensive line, they did not trade for Carson Wentz for him to hand the ball off. Head coach Frank Reich wants the former No. 2 overall pick to spin it.
Depending on how well Justin Fields plays as rookie with the 2021 Bears, there is a chance Wentz is the most talented quarterback Robinson has ever played with. This would be a return to the AFC South division Robinson is very familiar with from his time in Jacksonville. We also should not overlook that he will play more than half of his games inside of dome if he signs with the Colts.
Overall, there are plenty of intriguing landing spots for Robinson in his free agency next year, especially over in the AFC. Of course, a lot of where he could potentially go is contingent on how well he plays, as well as other team’s glaring needs for a No. 1 wide receiver. If he does leave Chicago in free agency, maybe teams like the Colts, Jets or Steelers emerge as teams to land him?
What other teams make a great deal of sense for Robinson to head to during his free agency?
