FWIW: I've been told that the #Eagles are highly likely to make an offer to the #Bears for Alshon Jeffery... if they can re-sign him. Rd 3/4
That would uh....Be huge. HUGE!
I'm sure they're asking about it, especially since he's almost definitely walking in FA, Chicago would be keen to get something out of it. On the one hand, it would be sweet to get him now, and we wouldn't have to enter a bidding war against other teams. OTOH, if we wait till the offseason we wouldn't have to get rid of picks. Still highly doubt it'll happen. And if it does I don't expect him to have a big role in the offense this year. Receivers don't really come in midseason and hit the ground running. Hell, Randy Moss was traded mid season and only caught 19 balls
No fucking way is a proven top WR worth only a 3rd round pick, unless there is some serious salary cap fuckery involved.
Chicago could either trade him now for a 3rd and 4th, or get nothing when he leaves in FA. Not necessarily the Eagles, but I could see them just wanting to get whatever they can. And it's just an inquiry, this probably means nothing.
