Sounds like ARob & Bears headed for breakup

+1

After last year's clown show on offense, AR was one of the very few bright spots.  He is a proven player, not a guy we "hope" turns into a good player.  He's the real deal.  We watch him deliver every game even when our QB sometimes sucks.  A guy like that makes any team better.  And if we do end up having to go to the draft for our franchise QB, it would be so nice to have some legit talent for the new kid. 

One other thing.  It's not a given that you get a guy like AR who delivers off the field too.  In his personal life, in his influence in the locker room, his work ethic, - he is the complete package and not some talented guy who ends up embarrassing the franchise like so many other "stars" we've seen who are head cases.  It's not an easy task replacing a guy like AR. 

Ya the Texans. That doesn't mean anything though, The reason Hopkins was traded away was b/c he was going to cost to much, even if he did deserve it. His agent's job is to make sure he gets paid top dollar, and unless Hopkins states specifically he's staying in Houston(not likely) then his agent's job is to get the deal from the highest bidder. he did that.

Same thing w/ARobs agent. ARob can say he wants to be in Chicago all he wants, but he isn't accepting the offer given to him(if he's been given one). And his agents job is to make sure he gets the biggest deal he can, that means you wait to see how the other WR's get paid, which is exactly what they did. It's also not uncommon for the Bears to wait to sign players, even the good ones until TC/pre season. We are essentially still in pre season mind you, in terms of the time of month in a normal year.
