Forte to Sign With Jets per ESPN

Forte is awesome! But how much can he have left? He has about a billion touches already and is 30. If he gives us 2 typical Forte years, we'll be doing great. But I worry about how quickly RBs fall-off.

He is coming off a decent year even though he was injured. He can do everything you want from a RB. He is coming to a much better team. He is a stopgap RB like Fitz. Draft a RB high to replace him in next two years. I would draft Henry if Elliot is not available.

Wasn't a big fan of signing a 30 y/o RB, but if he can give the Jets 2 good years, it's a nice stopgap. I do like that he can catch the ball on screens. That's something our offense really needs.

He will give us a Marshall like year this year. He will be very productive.... He fits Gaileys system for the exact comment you made about screens....

kind of like the LT signing (not that forte is the HoFer LT is). probably passed his prime, but can still be a useful contributor. and great back out of the backfield with a nose for the endzone

nice move, assuming the dollars/guarantee aren't too high

That's exactly how I envisioned him when I learned Chicago was letting him go. Now we need to pray Ezekiel falls into our laps, and draft 5 lbers.

all fair points..

not a fan of replacing an older back with an even older one..

could the bolded mean mac is preparing for powell to sign elsewhere?? I hope not..
