New Bears leadership will attempt to repair what would seem to be a very burned bridge with Robinson, but I'd expect him to leave for more money elsewhere. Detroit has a need for an impact playmaker opposite Amon-Ra St. Brown and money to spend.

Zierlein: 7 potential Round 1 fits for Malik Willis (Outside shot (10% chance) - Detroit Lions (First-round picks: No. 2 and 32 overall):   I've always believed that teams with multiple first-round picks are more able -- and likely -- to take a big swing with one of them. It's hard to imagine that the Lions are locked in on Jared Goff at quarterback, and they'll have the ability to get away from his contract after the 2022 season. Taking Willis 32nd overall, with one of the selections acquired from the Rams in last year's Goff-Matthew Stafford swap, could be a wise investment with one of their two first-round picks -- but if they really want him, they may need to maneuver up the board rather than sit back and wait for Willis to fall to them.):  https://www.nfl.com/news/which-team-is-most-likely-to-select-qb-malik-willis-in-the-2022-nfl-draft-rankin

Goff was mostly inoffensive at quarterback last season and can hold down the job for one more season.  The “2022’s gonna be weird” unlikely option: Ryan Fitzpatrick.

It sounds like a broken record, but with so many holes to fill, they desperately need guys who can come in with game-changing ability. Holmes is embracing the rebuild process, and he needs to add more players like 2020 fourth-round receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown. -- Eric Woodyard.  Prospect to watch at the combine: Daxton Hill, S, Michigan.  The Lions, one of four teams with multiple first-round picks, have a chance to continue to add high-end players to their roster. Hill was primarily used in the slot at Michigan, but he has the potential to wear more hats in the secondary. -- Reid):  https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/33369283/2022-nfl-combine-draft-prospects-watch-cap-space-needs-all-32-teams#DET
