Former Bears WR Alshon Jeffery says he never wanted to leave Chicago
Former Chicago Bears standout receiver Alshon Jeffery opened up about his departure from the organization in the 2017 offseason.
Former Chicago Bears wide receiver Alshon Jeffery has stated that he never desired to leave the team he joined in the 2012 NFL Draft. The explosive play-making receiver, who was selected in the second round, spent his entire career with the Bears before moving to the Philadelphia Eagles in the 2017 season. Jeffrey appeared on 104.3 The Score and revealed that he believed he would spend his entire career with the Bears, dismissing claims that he was unhappy in Chicago or seeking more incentives in a contract with the team.
He explained that his agent and the Bears tried to make things work, but he ultimately took a one-year deal with the Eagles, who promised him an extension. Despite winning a Super Bowl during his tenure with the Eagles, Jeffery still harbors love and loyalty for the team that drafted him in 2012.
