NFL Free Agency

If Forte is healthy and the knee isn't an issue, then I'd trade Felix Jones. Forte is a dual threat RB. I dont really understand why Forte is upset about the signing. In this league you need two good running backs on your roster.

ha, i don't think Chicago would take that trade. The might Demarco Murray and a wide receiver/draft pick.

if I was Chicago I would want Felix Jones and Dez Bryant. Two guys that are injury prone and with Bryant who is a head case

I don't think they would take that. Jerry wouldn't do it, that is for sure. He is still in love with Dez I think.

For now he is at least

Forte was responsible for something like 55% of the Bear's offence last season. (don't remember the actual percentage, but it was either just over or just under 50%) That's crazy for one player on a team. He's the definition of a "feature back". However, I don't know why he's mad about Bush being signed. They needed a back-up, especially since Barber retired. I'm thinking that it's more about getting franchised after doing so well the last few years, and then they go around handing out long term deals to new players.

As far as the Cowboys trading for him, I would say it would be a bad idea. Nothing to do with him, he would be a great RB for Dallas. But DeMarco Murray showed the same type of potential as Forte if not more, and he's younger. We would have to give up too much to get something that we already have a younger, possibly better version of.

Hypothetical, would you trade any cowboys for Matt Forte? Apparently he is not happy with Chicago for signing Michael Bush.

Not happy is an understatement. I heard that he flat out demanded a trade and said he would refuse to practice or play after Michael Bush was signed.

Jeff Saturday will now be protecting the league MVP. He signed with Green Bay. Oh snap!

[krazy kris]

Baltimore needs to stop fucking around and resign Webb and I was hoping they would grab Ted Ginn

Get rid of Felix Jones and sign Forte and use both Forte and Murray. Cowboys offense would be extremely solid at that point. Felix Jones is a total bust IMO. I really like Murray but he doesnt have a track history of staying healthy.

That would be awesome, but the Bears aren't goint to trade Forte straight up for Jones, and I would be worried about what else we would have to give up for a second RB. Not to mention Forte already has a problem splitting time with Bush, what makes you think that he would want to split even more time with Murray. We would end up with the same problem here that they're having in Chicago. So as bad ass as a Murray-Forte combo would be I just don't see it working out in our favor.

Yeah that. Forte is threatened by a career backup RB, I don't think he would play well with DeMarco.

William Gay has officially left Pittsburgh to join Arizona.

Id bring him in. What if Murray doesn't run like he did last year? Id be afraid he'd injure his leg again. Get Felix Jones out and put Murray behind Forte.

Geof will be thrilled

The Bengals are interested in Terrance Newman. Think its the first rumor I've read about Newman since he was cut.
