    YES!

    I'm guessing this is curtains for Powell then. We may bring back Ridley for cheap and then draft somebody

    Hopefully he will be our 3rd down back after we draft Elliot. We will have a nice backfield at that point.

    Nice! Probably one of the most underrated RBs in the league, he's a top tier talent even at 30. Still want to know what the numbers look like before I get too excited...

    Nice to have some positive Jets news. Hopefully Forte still has a couple years in the tank.

    NICE!!! Obviously not the same player as he used to be but still a great addition. Guess Powell will be heading to Denver now..

    Forte is gonna be a beast in Gailey's system. At least 60 catches if healthy just watch.

    Hopefully, Powell will be back as well. Forte is not going to be able to be a solo feature back. Ridley did nothing and shouldn't be brought back. Zac Stacy is shit and should go. Powell, Forte and a 3rd round RB would make a nice RB by committee.

    Impressive...think that's an upgrade. even better if we can bring back powell

    Otherwise young fresh legs in the draft.

    I like it. I wonder what the deal is, because I just read how he was willing to take less to go to a contender and appear in Super Bowls.

    And I wouldn't assume we'll stop trying for Powell.

    Forte has to be cheaper than Powell will be as there would be no point in letting a home grown, youngish player go over an older guy. I am fine with this as running backs are a dime a dozen. I hope Forte will come in with a chip on his shoulder. Should be even better that we have Marshall on this team as well.
