I find that very hard to believe since he got barely less than the franchise tag value for his AAV. If we made him an offer that was as good, or even close to as good, as what the Bears did we would have just used the franchise tag on him. I think the whole of the evidence would suggest that we probably offered him something very similar to the Marqise Lee offer.

2. Anyone who is quoting the stats for Arob clearly didn't watch the Bears last year. It's not his fault the Nagy offense is hugely predicated on spreading the ball around (to a fault really). When Arob got his chances he was making the same acrobatic, studly 50/50 catches that we were used to. He would have helped us out a ton last year.

In the playoffs, ARob went for 10 grabs 143 yards and a TD. The Nagy offense spreads out the ball, but when it matters, they go to ARob who is fully back from his ACL tear.

Until Dede cracks 1,000 yards, i think it's dishonest to say he'll have a better career. That said I think they'll have similar production from here on out.
