Go and prove it then Mr. Porter. Both of these guys should be able to be beaten if you can bounce back to the season you had a few years ago.
Just one more time that Pace shows players he could careless about them. No wonder the top tier players weren't will to sign with Pace during FA. Signing one is prove it, two signing is your the odd man out regardless.
I guess my biggest question is why is White still on the team he hasn't proven anything in two year other then he knows how to make money while sitting. The Bears sure need some competition at WR, too bad you don't get that offend with 5th and 6th round picks I guess Pace didn't think WR like DeSean Jackson, Kenny Stills, Kenny Britt, or even Alshon Jeffery were good enough to play for the Bears or may it was just Paces low ball number had them shutting the door on Pace.
1 Porter is still on the team, he just has to compete for his job. 2 White now has 3 other WR's who he has to complete for a spot with 3 Porter is on his 9th year in the league, White is on his 3rd. Not sure how you can even compare the two since one is still on his rookie deal. 4 Was Jackson/Still or Britt ever linked to the Bears? Alshon wanted out of Chicago asap, and apparently was given TERRIBLE adivice from his agent, and got a TERRIBLE contract. Guy doesn't want to come here you cannot force him to come here. 5 Pace didn't low ball anyone imo, Gilmore sin't the 5th best CB in the league and shouldn't have gotten the contract he got; same w/Bouye. Not sure what Desean or the Kenny's got so I won't comment on them.

I think one of my greatest frustrations with Lovie Smith's teams was the lack of serious competition. I felt like that hurt us as a team back then. I do like having real competition for roster spots. I'm sure it does add to a player's anxiety to have to earn a roster spot or even more importantly a starting position. But that doesn't mean it's a bad thing.
A 2nd tier starting CB with an injury history is tweeting his dislike that two more 2nd tier CBs were signed to compete? There are no guarantees in life except those in your deal and I think those are up.
Who the hell knows what's on Pace's mind with all of these signings. Show up healthy and ready to play. That's all you can do. I'd wonder why too. What's up with some of their "ascending prospects" from last season? Wassup with Kyle Fuller?
Some days I wonder if they aren't running around Halas Hall with handfuls of cash begging someone to take it. Maybe it's like; "Here's $8 mil for ya'. What position do you play? CB? OK, we can use you then." "TE? Yep need one so here's $10 mil for you."

i thought you were talking about Barth there for a second.
Maybe if he was studying game film instead of tweeting, he'd be a better CB and not have to worry about 2nd string guys. Ironic how he has a zippered lip emoticon in his tweet bitching about being written off. With that attitude, it wouldn't surprise me if he gets dumped.

I think this raises a good point. The common refrain now-a-days is "It's a business." Yet a business that doesn't consider its employees is typically a poor business. Porter fought through injury all of last year yet managed to remain on the field while his peers were warming the aluminum benches with far less serious concerns.
Still, I think it's a bit premature for Porter to be up in arms regarding his newly acquired teammates. No one's running him out of town, yet. Porter has far better odds of sticking with the Bears than someone like Fuller who - at first chance - will be swapped out to dump the contract and get some draft picks.
I'd like to think Porter will make the roster this year. He's a good DB who was playing with a bunch of novices and rookies without the assistance of a reliable pass rush.

Hold on a minute, they got Porter when he was on his way out of NFL. Then they gave him a very decent contract. So far, they were very civil with him. He just feels competition breathing on his neck and it was clear sailing until now...

Meh. Like I said, JJ raised a valid point. Not sure how far I want to run the point with Porter specifically, but this callous, it's a business approach bullshit gets tired.
