With so many routes general manager Ryan Pace can go at quarterback, Jeffery is more of a binary situation – either he’s back or he isn’t. Of course, there’s more to Pace’s decision, so let’s go through some frequently asked questions about the Bears’ No. 1 receiver.
Can the Bears use the franchise tag on Jeffery again? If so, how much would that cost?
Yes, the Bears can use the tag again. If they did and Jeffery played under the one-year tender, it would be a guaranteed salary of approximately $17.5 million, which would also be the cap hit.
