Forse signs with Arizona; Lopina cut

For most of the offseason, ex-Milwaukee Iron receiver Nate Forse appeared to be Spokane-bound. The holdup was that Forse needed to take a physical.

Forse passed his physical recently, but his destination changed when Arizona signed the talented receiver to a 'Marketing Contract' ($1,000 per game). Forse would have made $400 per game with the Shock.

Elsewhere, San Jose released ex-WSU quarterback Kevin Lopina and signed former Cal QB Nate Longshore.

The Shock will open training camp in less than three weeks.
