Jeffery, who was drafted by the Bears in the second round in 2012 out of South Carolina, could sign with another team once free agency begins on March 9. NFL teams have until Wednesday at 4 p.m. ET to use their franchise designation. Jeffery, 27, earned $14,599,000 under the tag last season. If the Bears utilized the tag on Jeffery again, it would cost them $17.5 million.
