Alshon Jeffery is not going to play in the final game of the year on Sunday vs. the Detroit Lions because he is on injured reserve. And with this being the final year of his contract, there’s a chance Chicago Bear fans have seen the last of the South Carolina alum.

And that might be a dream con true for Jeffery.

According to David Haugh of the Chicago Tribune, Jeffery has said that he is not happy in Chicago and he feels isolated because he doesn’t have too many close friends, especially when Brandon Marshall left. Jeffery also mentioned he is looking forward to free agency.

The Bears could put the franchise tag on Jeffery, which would keep him in Chicago for one more season. However, if Jeffery is really not happy where he is now and he wants to play close to home, the Bears might not want to spend $14 million on a guy that does not have his heart set on being a Bear. Also, the fact that he missed seven games before the Bears placed him on injured reserve is also a red flag in terms of re-signing him.

This is a big reason why the Bears decided to put Kevin White on the shelf this season. If Jeffery does leave, they need a big-play receiver to take his place, and the Bears are banking on White to be that guy.
