    Tracy Porter initially cried foul after his No. 24 was given to Charles Woodson.

    In his first non-Twitter chance to speak about his feelings, the sixth-year cornerback coming off a disappointing, injury-plagued 2012 insisted he was over it.

    "The jersey situation is what it is," Porter said Thursday, per CSNBayArea.com. "It got some attention because I spoke out about it. I didn't like the way it was handled, but whatever man. I'm not going to leave camp because my jersey number was switched."

    Porter was issued No. 31, but will attempt to wrest No. 22 -- the number he wore prior to signing with the Oakland Raiders this offseason -- from running back Taiwan Jones if the opportunity presents itself.

    Porter, according to the report, joked that he's still hoping to profit from No. 24.

    "That's in the works," Porter said with a smile. "Maybe .5 percent ownership in (Woodson's) winery or something like that. Honestly it's all good. I'm just trying to make it through my sixth NFL training camp."

    He should get paid for it, but its understandable giving woodson his old number since theres already a lot of #24 woodson raiders jerseys out there

    Could see him being upset if he was a Raider with tenure which would give him rights to the # & payment if he chose to deal it but he just signed. :icon_smile:

    Should be grateful they gave him a # at all...
