There have been a few players mentioned recently that are on the roster bubble that were linked to the Colts in the past via mock drafts.
Thought I would start a thread for discussion.
First up - Dam's favorite OT prospect
Teven Jenkins.
Year 2 for Teven....just days into training camp and the Bears are ready to move on from him.
Obviously there is a new regime in place and they didn't draft him.
There are some rumors about maturity issues - he was demoted to second team during OTA's and reportedly wasn't happy about that.

The Bears have received calls and have held trade talks centered around OT Teven Jenkins, sources tell me and Mike Garafolo. The former 2nd round pick has drawn interest based on his potential. A situation to watch.

As is often the case, a new regime is much more willing to part with draft picks they didn’t make. We’ll see what happens with the Bears and Teven Jenkins.

Also need to remember that Jenkins slid on draft day due to injury concerns with his back. He had surgery on it last season but there were concerns that his back was going to be a chronic issue.
So anybody interested in Jenkins as depth?
And at what price - Day 3 draft pick or player? Since Eberflus is now Chicago's coach, he may be interested in a defensive player.
If a draft pick is involved, I would hope it would be a conditional draft pick based on either playing time or if he stays on the roster.
