Bears Guard Teven Jenkins Faces Free Agency

Teven Jenkins, the Chicago Bears' left guard, is set to enter unrestricted free agency after four injury-riddled seasons. Although he expressed a desire to remain in Chicago, citing personal ties to the city, Jenkins also mentioned the appeal of a fresh start with a new team. His performance has been hampered by injuries, limiting him to only 45 games out of 68 possible, which may affect his market value. Despite being recognized as a talented offensive lineman, Jenkins's lack of availability raises concerns for potential suitors. The Bears are looking to improve their offensive line significantly this offseason, which could influence their decision regarding Jenkins's future. Currently, Jenkins described his situation as a 'toss-up' about returning, indicating uncertainty on both sides about a possible contract extension.
