by Monday,1 pm.,Pacific time,all players with a franchise tag must sign with their respective teams... three players are looking for long term contracts-Matt Forte,of the Chicago Bears,Cliff Avril,of the Detroit Lions,and Ray Rice,of the Baltimore Ravens-Forte is "very close" to signing a long term contract(in fact,he may be on the phone,with Bears' management,or his agent,most of the weekend),Avril has "not a good vibe"(his words),about signing a long term contract,and the Ravens,who has salary cap pressure has not budged,about a long term contract,with Rice... Forte,who said he has,"no choice but to play in 2012",may sign the franchise tender,and Avril has said that he will sign his franchise tender,earlier,in the off-season,but Rice may hold out... side note:quarterback Joe Flacco,and cornerback/safety Ed Reed both want a long term contract,with the Ravens,too... so the Ravens may be in early trouble this upcoming season,folks...*
