Bears, Packers battling for Allen Robinson and Sammy Watkins

Sammy Watkins

Sammy Watkins

Now, Robinson appears to be garnering interest from a pair of NFC North rivals in the Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears.

At this point, it's a longshot for the Kansas City Chiefs, but it's nonetheless nice to see the franchise's name reportedly in the mix for the services of free agent wide receiver Sammy Watkins. Let the speculation begin. A lot of teams are interested in Sammy Watkins. The Packers would have to dive in head first to sign Robinson once the market opens. According to Spotrac, the Packers now have $38.38 million of the cap committed to their receivers, far and away a league-high.

Robinson is going to become one of the league's highest paid wide receivers. For the Packers to make room, they would likely need to cut or restructure one of their current deals. The team would nearly certainly then have to release Jordy Nelson or Randall Cobb.

Another interesting tidbit: the Packers passed on Robinson to instead draft Adams, something that people incessantly pointed out when Adams was struggling.

Watkins is the more appealing of the two.

Mourinho unrepentant in Manchester style wars
I would say he was in the top five with more matches for two seasons. A first-half brace from Marcus Rashford proved the difference.

Both players come with some injury concerns.

If not for a torn ACL, the Jaguars, who are also interested in bringing Robinson back, might have pushed harder to bring him back. Robinson broke out with 1,400 yards in 2015, but regressed the following year, when he went for 883 yards.

Watkins disappointed somewhat last season, posting just 593 yards and eight touchdowns in a red-hot Rams offense.

And keep this in mind: he only turns 25 years old in June.

Do you think the Packers should try and sign either receiver?
