We haven’t done a lot of punting posts during this free agency frenzy, but Adam Podlesh deserves a big one for coming up with the best post-signing tweet we’ve seen yet.

Podlesh agreed to a five-year contract with the Bears Thursday, leaving Jacksonville despite being a “priority” for the Jaguars. So what convinced him to join the Bears?

“I knew it was a done deal when they included a dinner with Abe Froman #thesausagekingofchicago,” Podlesh wrote.

Froman gets all the best reservations.

UPDATE: Sean Jensen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports Podlesh will get $10 million
