What do you think Hicks will get? 6 mil a season ?
The over under on Hicks and Trevathan had to be Jackson money. I'll take the under.

How and Why would Tracy Porter somehow magically know what Pace is going to do? You think he consults with his players before news breaks?

I'm sure Porter has at least one friend in the front office that would likely tell him about moves they are making. You would think a player on the team would have a better shot at getting "sources" than a reporter.

1) Porter didn't say a thing about talking to Pace.
2)Porter likely hears news from other players and his agent.
3)All the bullshit rumors from media and message board posters and your first thought to doubt someone is an actual veteran player with league wide connections from years on multiple teams?

Sure he might hear stuff from his agent if it involves him. I actually doubt most reporters who would rather be the first to report big news than the most accurate. I just don't buy that a player is going to EVER break news about other player transactions on a team. I mean, when have you ever seen that before?

Could Porter be tweeting about the Megatron retirement? Just guessing ...

If Pace signed a CB, even if it hadn't hit the news yet, he should call Porter's agent and tell him to go and get the best deal for his client.

There is no way Pace is stringing along a guy he isn't planning to keep for a second longer than he has to.

Except he isn't breaking news, just saying he is hearing some crazy shit:

Whatever happens in free agency I hope people understand there are really tough decisions being made. Don't hate the player hate the game



Both obviously have heard things. Not sure what isn't to believe.

I could easily see both of these referencing Forte to GB.
