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.

    • At the moment? Absolutely not. Maybe if they drop the next three in a row and go into the deadline at 3-6 I can see an argument to be made to move Rico as he's on a 1yr deal. I'd rather keep Chuba's contract though and roll with ETN + JB next season. The team will have plenty of time to see how JB is looking going into the offseason a year-plus after his surgery to know whether or not they need to plan for another direction.
    • I forgot to mention my thoughts on the rushing grade! 😮 He ran his ass off both weeks. I can't remember the stat offhand but didn't he have something crazy like 120+ yards after contact vs. Dallas? Against Miami he had lanes as wide as the entirety of I-95 to run through which is why his rushing grade wasn't as high as this week's. He's ran like a man possessed and going to earn himself some money in the offseason.
    • I'm not sure how much I'm changing mid year, especially when we are seeing some success.    Most Pass Rushers are physically gifted. Scheme and personnel help, but you gotta have the Jimmys and Joes, especially at that position.    We will likely lose games when the other team can throw for 400 yards, and has multiple high level receivers, but I think at this point in the development of our franchise, we have to be ok with that. You can't address every single issue at once. Really looks like we have plugged some holes on offense, and definitely in run defense. In the next draft, if we hit on a CB, an ILB and a Pass rusher, we will be pretty dangerous.
