Leming, Wiederer, Hoge, others all saying expectation is that a deal will be reached. Aaron Leming @AaronLemingNFL 1h1 hour ago If I had to guess, I'm going to say that #Bears don't need to use the tag on WR Alshon Jeffery. Things moving positively, fast. 9 retweets 11 likes Dan Wiederer @danwiederer 53m53 minutes ago At this point, Jeffery almost certainly will remain a Bear in 2016. And likely beyond. Next big news really will be #s on new contract. Adam Hoge @AdamHoge 1h1 hour ago #Bears & Jeffery’s camp are still negotiating. And yes, they will tag him if a deal isn’t done. In other words, nothing has changed. 6 retweets 6 likes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyyle23 Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Feb 26, 2016 -> 03:46 PM) Interesting. I know Hoge had reported that Jeffrey was not yet tagged (contrary to Schefty's report). Schefter hasn't been on the ball with Jeffrey. Just a few weeks ago he was reporting that the Bears were considering letting him walk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uh, okayyyy ... @RapSheet Difficult day for #NotreDame LB Jaylon Smith, who had his medicals. Ankle & knee nerve issues, teams believe he's out for 2016 -- at least Sounds like Smith was just hoping for the best. Sucks, he was going to be a really good player.

Yeah, must be the peroneal nerve that wraps around the fibula near the area he had the lateral knee damage. Would be really interesting to see where it was at the time of injury and where it is now. There is a good chance it will heal to a good extent. Nerves heal for about 18 months. Might be worth a mid-round pick to try to get him this year, if he will take the deal.

Chisoxfn Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 I'd still think he goes in the 2nd to 3rd round. Anything past that, I can't imagine he signs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ptatc Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Teams cold do a nerve conduction velocity test to try to determine the extent of the injury and estimate how much damage there is and the possibility of how much function will return. This will be a really interesting case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be close to 70 million with cuts. That's good, but I'm more worried about good drafting than I am worried about cap space. At some point, the Bears need a couple of great draft picks at reasonable clips to fill all the holes they have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supposedly the 40 times are a bit quicker than they really are. For example, Lee's 40 time stopped when he had about 5 feet left. CB William Jackson ran a 4.32 and 4.39.
