Chicago Bears WR Alshon Jeffrey Latest Player to Make Stock Deal With Fantex

On draft day Chicago Bears wide receiver Alshon Jeffrey was among the firstr three receivers taken in just about every league in existance (or the ones not full of idiots at least). Should he have a year similar to last season's breakout campaign (89 receptions, 1421 yards, seven touchdowns) he is going to help a number of people win their leagues.

If you buy stock in him when he signs his monster contract in the off-season he could help you make a decent chunk of change too.

Fantex, a site that sells stock in athletes, has made a deal with Jeffrey that will allow them to sell people stock in his future earnings:

Another athlete will have his "stock" for sale. Fantex will acquire 13% of the "brand income" of WR Alshon Jeffery for $7.94M.

Jeffrey is still working under his rookie contractr (4-years, $4.5 million). In his first two years he made less than $2 million so getting $7.9 million is a pretty big deal for him.

When he signs his contract extension worth top-5 wide receiver money it will be a pretty good deal doe his stockholders too.
