A source familiar with the Bears' thinking told the Chicago Tribune on Wednesday the team has no plans to pursue a trade for Jackson at this time. Strings attached to Jackson -- compensation and a new contract -- are factors the Bears do not want to burden themselves with a month before training camp. The Bears, like many teams, would love to have a 6-foot-5, 230-pound target such as Jackson to throw to, particularly in the red zone. However, Jackson is unhappy with the one-year, $3.268 million tender extended to him by the Chargers and wants a deal closer to the four-year, $47.5 million contract the Dolphins gave Brandon Marshall -- a price tag way too high for the Bears. ESPN's Adam Schefter tweeted that the Bears are one of the possible trade partners along with the Redskins and Seahawks. Source: Vaughn McClure, Chicago Tribune
why would they? they've been saying repeatedly for the past 2 years that their current receivers are great ................... they're set.
So they throw away money for an ageing pass rusher and a backup RB but won't go for a young, productive physical freak? No wonder Angelo/Lovie are on their last legs at Chiggy
