Alshon Jeffery

Would love, love, love, this move if the Ravens were able to sign him.

The Ravens have been missing a big and strong wide receiver since the absence of Anquan Boldin. Jeffery could most certainly fill this role. He had a down season this year, but still has caught for over 800 yards. The Chicago Bears sit at 3-12 and will mostly likely be cleaning house after the season is over. If this is the case, there is a chance Jeffery might not return next season.

The Ravens wide receiver position will be in question next season. It is unsure whether Steve Smith Sr. or Kamar Aiken will return.

If the Ravens were to sign Jeffery, it would not come cheap. He signed a 1-year 14.5 million dollar contract with the Bears before the 2016 season. They would most likely need to get rid of Smith, Aiken, and others. Along with that, other teams with more cap room will be fighting to sign Jeffery. He is considered one of the top targets for 2017.
