THE Chicago Bears have tipped to lose one of their star players in free agency.
Teven Jenkins is enjoying a strong year and has been vital to their current three-match win streak.

The 26-year-old has earned the Bears 14 points so far this NFL season and looks on course to smash his career-high of 25 set last term.
But with the guard’s four-year contract coming to an end in the spring, he has been tipped to leave the team.
Bleacher Report’s NFL scouting department reckon Jenkins would suit the Houston Texans perfectly.
They said: “The Texans don’t have many outright holes on either side of the ball, but their situation at left guard could be classified as such.
“Kenyon Green has been given plenty of chances to prove that he can be a reliable starter and it hasn’t really happened.
“The Texans could really get the best of both worlds if they find space in the budget to go after Jenkins in free agency.
“He has found a role as a solid starting guard after struggling at tackle.”
Jenkins came through at Oklahoma State University and signed a $8million four-year deal with the Bears in 2021.
He was a second round, 39th overall, pick in the draft that year.
The Bears face the Washington Commanders this Sunday and the Texans welcome the Indianapolis Colts.
