Alshon Jeffrey Suspended 4 games for PED use

Alshon Jeffery 5 seasons with only 2 being 1,000+ yards:

Year 1: 367 yards ( Plagued with injuries )
Year 2: 1,421 yards ( First year of Trestman's pass happy offense )
Year 3: 1,133 yards ( Second yar of Trestman's pass happy offense )
Year 4: 807 yards ( Plagued with injuries )
Year 5: 630 yards ( Gets suspended do to PED's. Most likely things to help out his soft tissue injury )

If Alshon won't play another snap this year his total will be: 4358 yards in 5 years

For a guy who wants top 5 money his resume looks bad.

He has two 1,000+ yards when and only when Marshall was here. Having Hoyer or Cutler on the field this year doesn't change the on field production. The only difference is Hoyer spreads out the ball while Cutler locks onto Jeffery while hitting him in the head. Bold part is just a joke, not to be taken serious but Cutler does have a problem with overthrowing it. 

Who am I right?

I mean I wasn't the guy who said Jeffery wasn't going to have a lackluster season. I wasn't the guy who said having Cutler in there instead of Hoyer wouldn't change the outcome... ( *Sarcasm* )

Jeffery only has one 100+ yard game. That was against the Texans. We're done with 10 games and Jeffery has 3 games to play at the end of the season. I don't even think he'll get pass his 2015 record.  Now let's compare Jeffery to Dez and DT. 

Dez Bryant:

Year 1: 561 yards
Year 2: 928 yards
Year 3: 1,382 yards
Year 4: 1,233 yards
Year 5: 1,320 yards

Total: 5,424 yards in his first 5 years. 

Demaryius Thomas: 

Year 1: 283 yards
Year 2: 551 yards
Year 3: 1,434 yards
Year 4: 1,430 yards
Year 5: 1,619 yards

Total: 5317 yards in his first 5 years

Both of these players have 1,000 more yards than him in the same amount of time. Heck DT had injury problems as well...

His dream of wanting 14+ million a year is over unless of course he wants to go to the Browns. 

His talent is undeniable . So is his injury history . Couple that with his suspension and I'd bet that he's lost 'some' money - sure some team is going to offer him a good contract with more money than most ... but it won't be what it could have been and it comes with more risk than a player with a 'cleaner' backstory .

I'd still like to see him on the Bears , but not at ridiculous money , and if someone offers more and he walks away , then c'est la vie - we can spend it on other players who can also make us better .

Anyone who thinks this impacts AJ's future income is fooling themselves. Anyone who doesn't think AJ will get top 5-10 money is fooling themselves. Tavon Austin is getting 10.5 mill per year...you don't think AJ is getting anywhere from 12 to 14 million a year as the top player at his position in free agency? I want some of that stuff you're smoking! It's very simple...and I've gone over it a million times. He's the best at his position available in free agency, the salary cap is going up, there are multiple teams with needs who have very good cap space. Here are the teams with about 30 million or more in cap space this off season:



You going to tell me a team like the Patriots, the Bucs, the 49ers, the Panthers, or the Titans won't be very....VERY interested in a player with the talent AJ has? You are absolutely kidding yourself if you think any different.

Thank you Hawk. I have been trying to make this point to some people for what seems like 2 years! AJ's contract might be top 5 for a year and then it will go down from there.
