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.

    • In May of 2026, it looks like a challenging schedule...and it probably is.  I rarely listen to the "strength of schedule" conversations that light up social media this time of year. Each year teams improve and decline. I think there's chunks of the year we need to take care of business and the week 5 bye is not desired.  I do think if we don't hit the bye week at 3-1, it's going to be a major uphill battle given the schedule in front of us. This season falls on three people, regardless of schedule strength: Canales, Bryce, Evero.  Canales: Finally can truly coach all aspects of the team and not focus with gameday prep for OC duties anymore. He drives the bus and needs to get these guys in position to win each week. There's no way vets come in and put it on the line every week to watch our QB sh!t the bed (See: SF game last year). Bryce: Despite everyone's obsession with thinking Bryce is a guaranteed extension, I think this year will truly be his "prove it" year. If he comes out the way he has the past three years, I really don't see how vets and coaches can continue to put him under center long-term. He might play out that fifth year as the starter, but I think next offseason his long-term replacement is found. I also think there's no excuses with the weapons and commitment we've made on offense to insulate him with every possible weapon.  Evero: Best personnel he's had since he's been here...no excuses. Figure out how to blitz effectively. Figure out how to use CBs whose strengths are press/man. Figure out how to utilize a talented front-7 to get the hell of the field. Outside of FS and maybe....maybe ILB, there are few weaknesses on this unit. 
    • Canales can never get his teams ready in the first week of the season so far. Hope that changes or Ben Johnson is going to take his azz to school.
