Impact Rain may have played a role in the decision to hold Robinson out of practice. He was still in attendance, watching from the sideline, so there's a good chance this is just a day-to-day thing.

Stuck with franchise tender Robinson will play 2021 under a franchise tag, as he didn't sign a multi-year contract before the Thursday deadline, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact Reports from the past week suggested it was a long shot for Robinson and the Bears to work anything out. The soon-to-be 28-year-old thus stands to make $17.98 million this upcoming season, before hitting free agency (or receiving a second franchise tag) next spring. Robinson probably isn't thrilled, but his decision to sign the franchise tender in March suggests he isn't planning a holdout. Coming off back-to-back seasons with 150-plus targets, he'll hope to get a QB upgrade after the Bears added Andy Dalton and Justin Fields in the offseason.

No extension in sight Robinson and the Bears haven't made significant progress toward a long-term contract, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.
Impact Pelissero believes it's unlikely a deal gets done before the July 15 extension deadline for franchise-tagged players. Barring a last-minute agreement, Robinson will play out 2021 under a one-year, $17.98 million franchise tender, hoping to hit free agency next offseason. The Bears technically would have the option to tag him again, but it would cost at least $21.58 million -- a 20 percent raise from Robinson's 2021 salary. In any case, he's already signed the tag for this season, essentially ruling out a holdout as an option for leverage. Robinson will work with new QBs this summer, after the Bears brought in Andy Dalton and Justin Fields to replace Mitchell Trubisky.

Accepts franchise tag Robinson has officially accepted his franchise tender, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact It was recently reported by Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com that Robinson was in "no rush" to sign his franchise tender, but it looks like the star wideout has decided not to draw out the process. Robinson is thus locked into a one-year, $18 million deal with the Bears, though both sides can still discuss a long-term extension until July 15. It's also still possible that Robinson could be traded, but barring such events, he looks set play out his age-28 season in Chicago, potentially benefiting from more stable quarterback play courtesy of recent arrival Andy Dalton.

Not in hurry to sign tag Robinson is in "no rush" to sign his franchise tender, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Fellow wide receiver Chris Godwin signed his tender from the Bucs on Wednesday, essentially ruling out the possibility of a holdout. The situation between Robinson and the Bears feels more contentious, with the wideout previously noting in February that the team hadn't offered him a new contract since September. The franchise tag now sets up a July 15 deadline for a multi-year deal, and it won't come as any surprise if Robinson leaves his tender unsigned even after that date. In doing so, he'd be able to skip training camp and games without being fined, though he'd also be walking away from a lot of money in the process (more than $1 million for each game missed). It's still rare for a franchise-tagged player to skip games, so we'll likely see Robinson in uniform come Week 1, potentially catching passes from new Bears quarterback Andy Dalton.
