The Chicago Bears face a serious dilemma going into 2017. Despite having notable problems at quarterback and in the secondary, another big one threatens to open up this coming March. That involved productive wide receiver Alshon Jeffery. To this point the team hasn’t been able to reach a long-term agreement with the 26-year old. If they fails to do so by the 9th of that month, it’s likely he’ll leave via free agency.
Despite his considerable hiccups the past two years with injury and suspension problems, Jeffery is still the most dynamic receiver they have. Losing him would be tough to get over. GM Ryan Pace is no fool. He’ll need alternatives in mind if that happens. Receivers who can at least cover up the loss as he continues trying to find his future quarterback.
Will it be in the draft, free agency or via a trade? No doubt the list of possible names will be long. Then again one or two have already begun to surface. Options that may not bring a lot of hype, but plenty of productivity.
