Thread: RUMOR LaConfora: Matt Forte to Sign

I realize Bell is not his equal but he's not a bad RB.

I'm sure they're looking at Bush as a replacement for Barber as a power back. He won't get starters money though. I don't know about you guys but I getting sick of all the drama surrounding Forte. Either sign the guy of trade his ass. Threats of a hold out or not signing his franchise tender have got me changing my mind about the guy.

If he's pissed that JA didn't extend him and wants retribution that he ain't gonna get then trade his ass while his value is as high as it is. He's not getting CJ or AP kind of money. Those were ridiculous contracts and outliers as far as an average goes. Let's get it done of get him out of here before the draft and just replace him.

I agree. Wtf is the holdup? The last thing I want is some holdout drama. Now is the time we need that cap clarity to make moves. Either sign Forte or trade his ass.
