Bears | Alshon Jeffery plans to report

Chicago Bears WR Alshon Jeffery said he plans to report to training camp on time. Jeffery is participating in minicamp, but did not report for organized team activities earlier this month. He is awaiting a long-term contract agreement.

Footballguys View: Jeffery doesn’t have much leverage in this situation. He signed his franchise tender already and is on the books for $14.5 million in 2016. Jeffery had to participate in mandatory minicamp since he’s under contract. The two sides have until July 15th to get something done.

Jets | No deadline for Ryan Fitzpatrick

Free-agent QB Ryan Fitzpatrick (Jets) and the New York Jets do not have a ‘drop-dead deadline’ to get a deal done, according to head coach Todd Bowles. It was reported Monday, June 13, that there had been no progress in contract talks with Fitzpatrick.

Footballguys View: The Jets are slow-playing this Fitzpatrick situation. He’s gone from scoffing at their offer to being interested in any sort of deal they give him. The team is ready to move forward with Geno Smith as their likely starter while rookie Christian Hackenberg is seen as the developmental QB.
