Wiederer: Honestly, it's so hard to say. The range of possibilities with Jeffery always seems so wide and so difficult to figure out. Would either of us be surprised if he came back and delivered a 1,500-yard, 12-touchdown season? I wouldn't be. By the same token, it wouldn't exactly be shocking if he missed five or six games, failed to win over Pace and John Fox and marched right into free agency next March. For what it's worth, Jeffery will likely be the first receiver to play on the franchise tag since Wes Welker did so with the Patriots in 2012. Welker tore off 118 catches that year for 1,354 yards with six TDs but still left New England for Denver the following spring.
