I would like targeting to turn into signing.

Exactly. If I read one more asshat on Twitter saying the #Bears are targeting Trevathan I'm going to rip my dick off. Not targeting. SIGNING!

I just think that if Forte had already made a deal with Green Bay that the news would have leaked. That would be a pretty impressive tight ship to hold given that Green Bay doesn't make splash signings that often and the uniqueness of the signing.

Why wouldn't Porter's agent be looking for the best deal for his client anyways. It's not like he automatically has to stay here waiting to see if the Bears will offer him a contract. I'm sure every team would like to retain all their previous players that they plan on moving forward with. Unfortunately unless you tag them it is the players choice.

Peppers deal was not leaked until he did so himself. Green Bay does run a tight ship and players would definitely know before reporters.

I am sure he was shopping around.
Doesn't mean Porter won't be shocked when the Bears tell him they don't want him back, regardless of the price he finds on the market.

Perhaps Forte just texted/called those 2 to inform him of his plans? Assuming the tweets are even about him..

Keep your dick for one more day... I'm sure we'll sign someone tomorrow. You know, the first day we actually CAN sign someone.

One of my buddies at work who is a huge homer Packers fan said he would be shocked beyond belief if Forte signed with Green Bay. Personally, I don't think it helps them that much given his age and the fact they still are going to start Lacy, but we shall see.

Might end up being for more money. 8-9 million a year.

My sources tell me that we'll know more about signings tomorrow. They tell me the Bears will sign some players, or they won't.

I remember recently long saying that he will miss the conversations with Forte. I think they are close friends.

My sources tell me that having all FA rumors on one long thread absolutely sucks beyond sucks.

NFL Network's Rand Getlin reports free agent CB Janoris Jenkins will sign with the Giants when the market opens late this afternoon.
The market officially opens at 4PM ET. The Giants were unable to land top free agent DE targets Charles Johnson and Mario Williams, but they'd do well to emerge with a pairing of Jenkins and someone like Olivier Vernon, whose transition tag is expected to be rescinded by the Dolphins. Jenkins, 27, would give the G-Men a high-upside bookend across from Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie. Fellow free agent Prince Amukamara is poised to leave the Big Apple.

Yahoo's Charles Robinson reports "it's believed" the Dolphins will rescind Olivier Vernon's transition tag.
FOX Sports' Alex Marvez said Tuesday he is "getting strong vibes" the Dolphins will revoke the tag. With Mario Williams locked up, Miami likely feels more comfortable letting Vernon walk. It is still a horrific decision. Rescinding the tag would at least allow the Dolphins to recoup a compensatory pick when Vernon inevitably signs elsewhere.
49ers re-signed NT Ian Williams to a five-year contract.

So much for all that beach talk from Jenkins.
