After the Washington Football Team brought in a total of five wide receivers to try out for the team on Monday, it’s apparent that they are looking to add some depth to the WR corps at the very least.
If you follow along with NFL rumors as well, it appears that the Chicago Bears star wide receiver Allen Robinson is also going through a little unrest up north, where he has deleted all of the team content from his social media pages after yet another frustrating game trying to catch passes from Mitchell Trubisky. Does he want a trade? Who knows…
However, if a trade is available, what’s stopping Washington from trying to bring in the star WR? Absolutely nothing.
If Allen Robinson is available – and I was in charge of the Washington Football Team – I'd be offering that extra 3rd rounder from the Trent trade to Chicago. Yesterday

NBC Sports Washington’s JP Finlay said it best on Tuesday morning. If you’re running Washington, there’s absolutely no reason that you shouldn’t be poking around Robinson and seeing what it would take to bring him in. Washington has some draft capital, thanks to the Trent Williams trade earlier this year, and a major need for another WR to go alongside Terry McLaurin. A major hesitation earlier this offseason was that Washington might not be good enough to compete this season, so it could be smarter to be patient and not leverage your future for some quick fixes. However, after watching this team against the Eagles on Sunday, it’s clear that they’re better than a lot of people may have thought.
Giving QB Dwayne Haskins another weapon to work with could be major, as it would help distract the defense from McLaurin, and spur the growth of the young QB by giving him more playmakers to develop with.
The asking price may be too high for Washington, but they at the very least need to see what they can get Robinson for, and they need to do it now.
