Bears will not use franchise tag on Alshon Jeffrey. Will become Free Agent.

yeah figured they would. been a sour relationship for past couple of years.  I wanted him about 2-3 years ago when mention of him leaving Chicago. I think he is still a good receiver but we don't need another big bodied with average speed.  He will still be productive where ever he goes. but we don't nee him.  Use money on Secondary OL and DL.

This will be a horrible free agent signing for someone.

Doesn't offer anything to the table that we don't already have, had a worse drop rate than Kelvin last year( granted KB's DRASTICALLY improved), is always injured, and is a failed drug/ped test away from missing 10 games.

Eh I think there are too many other positions of need to go pay a lot of money for a guy that has a similar skill set to two WR's already on the roster. Regardless of whether or not he's more talented.

I'd rather spend money on a LT free agent personally. If we sign a FA receiver, I think the money would be better suited for someone that can work in the slot.

On what other NFL teams would Ted Ginn start at WR?

And he may not be back. Are we really ready to pencil in Devin Funchess as a starter? Oh wee mayne.

Agree that we need a legit slot guy, but we need a legit starter too. I've been saying for awhile now that I'd like to add a decent vet AND draft a guy.

    • Basically agree.  He is the one of that bunch that offers upgraded pass catching along with he is supposed to be kind of special.   Then you have the OL and the ideas that if they perform you can have JAG backs and still do well. So okay we could be fine.  But Brooks is important and to me that receiving element sets him apart.  So there sure is something riding on him.     What strikes me as incongruent is people over in Atlanta or those that follow them look at Penix with a third surgery and act like it is no big deal.      And we are on pins and needles over Brooks.  Either they should worry a lot more or we should worry a lot less.  
    • I usually go a game or two optimist over the consensus here but this is too early for me to say. I need to see some players on the field.  I am not feeling real optimistic though.  
    • Okay as a ‘take CJ’ fan I actually don’t obsess over CJ and Houston, contrary to the narrative.  But I thought I picked up some noise that his OL left a lot to be desired.    Not a single Beyce supporter would judge him harshly if he had a crappy OL. We all know that.    So be fair about it.  A QB needs to be protected.  Especially a guy that gets to his spot and wants to finish the play from there. Which CJ is.
