You can be sure that the will tag him if they can't get a deal done before next March. At the very least that extends the time they have to continue to pursue signing him. The Bears have only done this once before and that was with Lance Briggs.
thank you

I doubt you'd see Forte doing it but right now it's the only real bargaining ploy he's got to counter Jerry's if you don't take our offer we'll franchise you.
Here's a kicker ..... the BEARS get to the Playoffs, and THEN Forte sits out! FK ANGELO and he's fkin' "Franchise Tag"!!!!
If that happens.....we should all show our support for Forte by sitting out with him.
Don't turn on the games....and DON'T go to them either.
..... Until Forte is given the money he deserves, and Angelo is professionally Beheaded!
that's what I say anyway..... :-) LOL!

I don't think he deserves a professional job Gzan. I was thinking more along the lines of with the sharp edge of a lid from a rusty tin can!

Lets trade forte and a second round draft pick to the jets for their second round draft pick. The tade that pick to a team and get their 2nd and 3rd round pick. Then waste the second round pick on a DT but use that 3rd round pick to get a 4th and 5th round pick. Use the 4th round pick on a DE that was scheduled to be a 1st round pick. Use the 5th round pick on a Qb that will get cut later on.
