Where will Alshon Jeffery go?
Is former South Carolina wide receiver Alshon Jeffery, one of the top free agents available in the NFL, planning to stay with the Chicago Bears or go to another team?
Chicago general manager Ryan Pace said Wednesday at the NFL Combine that the Bears plan to keep Jeffery, either with a long-term deal or the franchise tag.
Pace told the Chicago Tribune the Bears are negotiating with Jeffery toward a new deal. "I sense he wants to be here," Pace said. Jeffery, 25, is the Bears' most dynamic player with Matt Forte leaving.
Top five NFL free agents
1. Von Miller, Broncos DE
The reigning Super Bowl MVP, Miller could wind up being the NFL's highest-paid defender.
2. Josh Norman, Panthers CB
There's nothing like having your breakout season in a contract year. He was among the best corners in 2015.
3. Muhammad Wilkerson, Jets DE
Wilkerson is the best defensive lineman on the Jets. The Jets are likely to place the franchise tag on him.
4. Alshon Jeffery, Bears WR
He might not be the most refined receiver in the league, but few are better at catching deep balls.
5. Eric Berry, Chiefs S
Berry returned back from his cancer scare better than ever. Strong safety play is hard to find and Berry is versatile.
