    After we cut Breno and renegotiate Bricks contract we will open up a little more money, too bad Forte will be getting hit 5 yards behind the line of scrimmage, but hey at least we got Revis.

    I still would have preferred Lamar Miller due to age, way less wear and tear since the dumb*** Dolphins had misused him like crazy. But, Forte was my 2nd option.

    Fitz is going to make a business decision and he would be crazy to not sign with the broncos if the offer was close.

    I gladly pay Forte $4 mil over Ivory getting north of $6 mil. Love this signing. If he can stay healthy, it's a drastic improvement.

    Forte has never played less then 12 games in a season and has a lot of full 16 game seasons.
    He's a durable RB that can also catch.

    Great signing.

    Great signing! Do to his versatility, especially as a receiver, I think he's an upgrade over Ivory, and cheaper!

    Not necessarily true. He is already familiar with our system and with addition of Forte (and hopefully a rehaul of the right side of the OL) our offense is better than theirs.

    I understand the Bears not re-signing him as Langford was pretty good for them last year. I think Forte will fit in well with the Jets.

    Don't need a TE or OL, huh? I like the sudden positivity around here but let's not get TOO crazy.

    Even Fitz is the shortest of short term answers. I can't get that excited

    No way he goes to the Browns. Only way we lose him is if we are really lowballing him

    Great signing for us. build up the o line and then worry about qb. Any qb should be able to be successful with Marshall decker and forte
