We are deep into the 2022 NFL Offseason, and free agents like Allen Robinson are looking at their options for next season. The wide receiver just finished his eighth season in the NFL as a member of the Chicago Bears.
The Jacksonville Jaguars selected Robinson 61st overall in the 2014 NFL Draft. He spent his first four seasons with the Jaguars before signing a three-year deal with the Bears. Robinson's second contract with the Bears was a one-year, $17.88 million contract, that expired at the beginning of the 2022 NFL Offseason.
Now, the 28-year-old is on the market and looking for his next place of employment. Here are the top three teams for Robinson to land in the 2022 NFL Free Agency.
Allen Robinson Free Agency Landing Spots
3. The Jacksonville Jaguars
As mentioned earlier, Robinson began his career in Jacksonville. He began his career under the leadership of quarterback Chad Henne, but played mostly with quarterback Blake Bortles.
The Jaguars have been one of the worst franchises in the league for a decade. They have finished the regular season under .500 since 2011, the only exception being the 2017 season.
However, 2022 is the year that the Jaguars get back on their feet, and Robinson would be a great addition to the rebuild. The organization recently hired head coach Doug Pederson, who led the Philadelphia Eagles to the franchise's first Super Bowl victory. They also have a talented and promising young quarterback in Trevor Lawrence. The addition of Robinson this offseason would be a win-win situation for both Robinson and the Jaguars' offense.
2. The Washington Commanders
At the beginning of February, Washington's NFL franchise publicized their new name, the Washington Commanders. The team had another mediocre-at-best season with a 7-10 record and the 3rd spot in the NFC East.
With all of this in mind, the Commanders will likely be busy this offseason rebranding and bringing new faces into the organization. This is where Robinson comes into play.
Washington needs a lot of help on offense, and they don't have any real pop-out star wide receivers. Their top receiver this past season was Terry McLaurin, who ranked 18th in most receiving yards for a wide receiver in the regular season.
Robinson wasn't on this list, because he didn't really have the opportunity. He only played in 12 games this season and had 66 targets total. The former Bears wide receiver dealt with a hamstring injury throughout the season, hindering his ability to perform.
However, if the Commanders acquire Robinson this offseason, he should be healthy and ready to perform with the right quarterback — which the Commanders also desperately need to find as a part of their rebranding.
1. The Philadelphia Eagles
The Philadelphia Eagles are in a similar situation to the Jaguars. 2022-2023 marks the second year of their rebuild under head coach Nick Sirianni and quarterback Jalen Hurts. However, the team isn't complete yet.
They selected wide receiver DeVonta Smith in the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft, but he needs help. Earlier in the offseason, Smith publicized that he would benefit from a more experienced wide receiver on the team. Robinson has played for two teams in eight years, making him a perfect option for the Eagles to acquire ahead of the 2022-2023 season.
