Yeah I'm always worried when it gets leaked that a deal is "almost" done. It often means that the player's agent is trying to apply pressure to get their client signed. Either by our team or someone else. Warren Sapp and Donte Whitner were "almost" signed as well.

Exactly. All a "target" means is that the QB was throwing the ball to that player. What if a receiver has a really bad QB? People also should realize that certain players (like TEs or RBs) typically have better target/completion % thanks to the types of routes they run.

What's easier to complete? A five yard screen or fifteen yard out? A shallow drag or a go route? That's why a top 5 WR like AJ Green "only" converts 58.8% of his targets while a mediocre TE could convert 70% of his targets. 
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
