2. Alshon Jeffrey

With his ability, Alshon Jeffrey would be gold to the Cardinals offense

The Bears used their franchise tag this past off season on Jeffrey. He wanted a big payday but Chicago wanted him to prove to them he deserved it after his play has slowly declined since 2013 when he posted a 1400 yard season. Nearing the end of the season he has posted 719 yards and 2 touchdowns.

What could he bring to Arizona?

His play making ability. In 2013 Jeffrey posted 89 receptions and 1,421 yards and 7 touchdowns. Ever since his stats have gone down, and he hasn’t been as productive. In a year the Bears wanted him to improve, he hasn’t.

It didn’t help that he was injured for a couple games as well. Jeffrey will be the most sought after wide out in free agency and will most likely be kept by the Bears. If Chicago decides to part ways and not offer a contract, the Bears receiver would want a nice pay day.

Arizona will likely try to spend that money elsewhere. If it is the right price, and with his size and athleticism. A Palmer to Jeffrey combo could mean trouble for defenses. Also a fresh start with a good system could mean Jeffrey gets back to his old ways.
