By this point most Chicago Bears fans were losing hope. Alshon Jeffery, the best receiver the team has ever drafted in the Super Bowl era, could be leaving. After failing to use the franchise tag on the 26-year old for a second time, it seemed like GM Ryan Pace was content to let him walk. Inexplicable thinking from the perspective of others.
You’re bringing in a new quarterback and letting your best receiving threat leave at the same time? Does not compute. However, it seems the thread isn’t cut just yet. Ian Rapoport indicates the two sides haven’t broken off contact just yet.
The #Bears and FA WR Alshon Jeffery's agent had a positive meeting today, I'm told. Both sides are more than open to a reunion….

Initially there is a surge of relief and hope at that news. However, as logic begins to set in one realizes there are a number of possibilities in play. Not all of them in favor of the Bears. Two scenarios stick out as the most likely.
