(670 The Score) Bears star receiver Allen Robinson has officially accepted the franchise tag from the organization, a source confirmed to 670 reporter Chris Emma on Thursday evening.

Robinson is due $18 million on the franchise tag in 2021, but he and the Bears still have until July 15 to work on a long-term deal. Robinson’s move to sign his franchise tag came one day after the Bears met with free-agent receiver Kenny Golladay.

Robinson, 27, had 102 catches for 1,250 yards and six touchdowns in 2020.
