Timu looked lost on a couple of kicks and punt returns.

PR and let him get used to the speed a little more.

Potential line of the future with some luck and if these guys pan out consisting of Bushrod Slausan Grasu Jones Long? Give or take one or two in there. Hope so.

I know it's a huge long shot and many of you will probably say washed up, but I'd like to see the Bears trade for Roddy White. Read he's unhappy with his role. When healthy he's a great 1 or 2 receiver and would be great to see a Jeffery, White, Royal, and Wilson depth chart at wideout. Even gives us flexibility to let Jeffery walk when Kevin comes back. I think a 5th a 6th could get it done if Falcons would consider moving him.

What?!? Why grab, plus waste a pick, on a 33yr old WR who will be out of the league in a year or two that's 3-4yrs removed from his prime!

This guy plays single coverage every week opposite the best WR in the league with a accurate QB and still can't get open. He is "washed up" and often injured.

I understand Jeffery will be costly and, as of lately, is experiencing muscle injuries but he is 25 yrs old and the best WR not named Marshall we've had in 20 yrs. Pay the man and stay young.

Is this the Roddy White who is turning 34 in 4 weeks and hasn't been explosive for a few yrs downfield?

Ya, i'll pass.

You do realize he caught 80 balls for 900 yards and 7tds last year right? We'll be lucky to have any receiver to match that this year. Bennett might but he's a tight end. He's 34 but still a reliable possession target. Matt Ryan just hasn't been looking his way with Julio Jones being open on 9 out of 10 times.

Yeah, you guys are both right. But I'm sick of watching Bellamy, Mariani, and co. Pretend to be receivers out there every weekend. Lol.

What the **** is up with all the people so eager to let Jeffery walk? What the **** is that bout?

I love Jeffery, he's just injury prone and doesn't deserve a huge contract if he can't stay healthy.

The Barret Jones signing is very intriguing.

Barrett Jones can play if he's healthy. I'd imagine he'd get a shot on the 53 in a couple weeks if he proves to be healthy/in shape and Grasu takes over the starting C role.

It looks like Slauson will move back to LG and Grasu will start at C. With the Bears having an extra spot on the 53, they could decide to call up Jones depending on how he does after a couple of practices this week.

Alshon jeffery has missed 3 games in the last 3 years. The 3 games he's missed have been the last 3 weeks. Thats not injury prone and "can't stay healthy"... that's 1 injury.

He had an unhealthy rookie season, perhaps that's where some of injury prone belief comes from.
In Chicago's week 5 away game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, Jeffery left the game after catching a touchdown thrown by Jay Cutler. Although the injury did not appear to be significant, x-rays done on the following Monday determined Jeffery broke his right hand, which led to him missing a few games.[14] Though the injury did not require surgery, Jeffery still had to wear a cast.[15] Jeffery eventually practiced for the first time on November 9.[16] Jeffery returned in Week 11 against the San Francisco 49ers,[15] but would injure his knee, and will be sidelined for 2–4 weeks.[17

However, he played in all 16 games the previous two seasons.

Trade picks for Roddy White, but let Ashlon walk because of a bum hammy. I got an ulcer just typing that out.
