Alshon Jeffrey Suspended 4 games for PED use

I have to admit as you, Hawk, and Butkus have pointed out regarding AJ's talent. If you throw a jump ball to Jeffrey as a strong armed QB (Rookie or not) he has as good a chance as any NFL WR to make that catch based on his talent.

Now tell me just how getting better at one position while getting worse at others solves any problems with getting better overall as a team?  It doesn't work that way blue.

We cut ties with Marshall and freed up money to sign McPhee.  For a brief period of time our pass rush improved ('til he went down with a knee injury) but White wasn't there to pick up any slack from Marshall and no one else has done that to date either.

You can't make a team better unless you make the entire team better.  We seem to have gotten lucky as far as replacing Forte and using some of that money to sign our own FAs but the flip side is we did not get better at WR or as a team by swapping BM's pay checks for McPhee's so far.

Maybe that looks good on paper but in reality it won't work if the players you choose to offload are productive players.  It ends up being a zero sum gain at best.

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.
