NFL Writer Predicts A New Home For Bears WR Alshon Jeffery

-

The agenda for the Chicago Bears in 2017 is an extensive one. Not only must they forge a plan of attack at fixing the quarterback position, they also have problems to sort out on defense. Depth at outside linebacker is a concern and their secondary is a mess. Both the cornerback and safety positions are sorely in need of upgrades.

This has made it somewhat easy to forget arguably the first and most important issue on the docket. What exactly do they do with Alshon Jeffery. The 26-year old wide receiver will be a free agent come this March. His attempt to gamble on himself with the franchise tag in hopes of scoring a bigger long-term deal met with mixed results.

Though he did put up over 800 yards in just 12 games, he didn’t score many touchdowns and also got suspended four weeks for PEDs. If anything his status with the team is more confusing than ever. What does the future hold? Jeffery has said he wishes to stay, but it’s not up to him. Some believe his destiny lay elsewhere.
