NFL Free Agency: 5 NFL Players That Need A Change Of Scenery
By Kyle Davis
#2. Alshon Jeffery – WR – Chicago Bears
To no surprise, Alshon Jeffery is the second player on this list. After an off-season of rumors and talk about where Alshon would land, he eventually was signed under the Franchise Tag of the Bears.
It is no secret that Jeffery hasn’t been the happiest player on the Chicago roster for his tenure, and has also not always been the most apt player to be on the field for every game. Nevertheless, he has been an outstanding performer since being drafted in 2012.
Being a large receiver with a huge catch radius and quickness, he has become a red zone favorite for whichever Quarterback has been behind center. Possibly the churning of Quarterback, offensive personnel, and Coaching Staff has had an impact on Alshon.
Whatever has gone wrong in Chicago previously still hasn’t stopped Alshon from being productive when healthy. In 2013 and 2014, he proved that he can be relied on for 1,000+ yard seasons, as well as double digit touchdowns. He can easily take over as a number 1 wide receiver on plenty of teams in the league when he reaches NFL free agency after this season.
Potential Fits: Los Angeles Rams, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Philadelphia Eagles, San Francisco 49ers.
