Bears fans react to retirement announcement

Allen Robinson announced his retirement on Monday. The former Chicago Bears wide receiver starred for the team from 2018 to 2021, helping the franchise qualify for the playoffs twice.

He entered the NFL as the No. 61 overall pick in the second round in 2014by the Jacksonville Jaguars. Robinson played for them for four seasons, earning a Pro Bowl selection in 2015, before joining Chicago. The Penn State product also suited up for the Pittsburgh Steelers and Detroit Lions, and was part of the New York Giants’ practice squad in 2024.

Robinson played some of his best football with the Bears. He established himself as an underrated wideout who caught clutch passes when the team needed it the most. The team’s fans have fond memories of the 33-year-old and will remember his stint with the Bears for years to come.
