Josh Allen is a top pass rusher for the Jacksonville Jaguars, and they almost certainly will use their franchise tag on him. This might eventually result in the Chicago Bears acquiring a reliable WR2 op
tion.
After spending just one season with the Jaguars, veteran wide receiver Calvin Ridley is eligible to sign free agency. The 29-year-old Ridley recently completed his second 1,000-yard campaign, hauling in 76 catches for 1,016 yards (13.4 yards per catch) and eight touchdowns.
The Bears were ranked as Ridley’s #1 destination in free agency by Brad Spielberger of Pro Football Focus, who also mentioned how well the wide receiver would fit in with DJ Moore.
“With D.J. Moore in place, Chicago could get two players who are interchangeable as X-receivers up on the line and as good move/Z-receivers with alignment versatility,” Spielberger wrote on January 31. “Both can create separation vertically, but Ridley could take the top off defenses even more and let Moore utilize his high-end after-the-catch abilities at the short and intermediate levels.”
