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

Probably a better chance we sign Berry than him. WR is the last position Gettleman will shell out serious money for.

[Catufb85]

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.

[Leeroy Jenkins PhD]

Alshon Jeffrey is superfluous to our current WR skill set.  

[jumpman910]

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.

[Ivan The Awesome]

We already have KB and Funchess....basically the same thing as Alshon. We need a younger version of Ginn that CAN catch..

[AppHeel]

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.

[Daddy_Uncle]

the only type of receiver we should be looking for is a legit slot receiver

[KillerKat]

We could use him. We need better hands at WR.

[Snake]

Dude will probably get 10 a year easy.

[pantherclaw]

He won't be a Panther. Nothing to worry about, here.

[LinvilleGorge]

Would love to have him, but those hamstring issues are a huge concern. It'd be a big gamble to sink serious guaranteed money into that guy. He's misses a lot games.

Now, when he's on the field? Head and shoulders better than any of our current WRs. It's not even close.

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.
