Re: Matt Forte
He'll get cut first, then someone will pick him up, so the acquiring team just has to pay the league minimum against the $4M salary. Another great Jets' move. Personally, I'd like to see Matt get a chance at a contender with a good OL, just to see how good he can be.

Re: Matt Forte
I should have clarified that if the jets release him as many suspect they will, who might pick him up. Belichik likes vets like Forte.Johnny Mac wrote:I have heard that the Jets are predicted to be worse than 2016 ClevelandGreenieBacker wrote:Sports Talking heads, only half jokingly, are wondering if the Jets will win a game this year

Re: Matt Forte
I think the Jets will battle the Bills for the #1 overall pick. Worst division in the NFL.

Re: Matt Forte
How about staying right where he is, but turning blue. Have you seen the Giants RBs? Vereen and Darkwa, that's pretty much it. And joining Orleans would be cool.

BTW, he played for the Bucs the year before he played for the Pats... he didn't come straight from the Jets...
should I stop here or should I emasculate you further?

Why would you want that for Matt? Isn't it bad enough one of our RBs is getting destroyed because of that OL?
Re: Matt Forte
He would split time with Paul Perkins if he came to the Giants. I think Dallas makes sense while Elliott is suspended or perhaps Kansas City with Ware out.
Re: Matt Forte
Lol...when/if the Jets cut him because they can't trade him, they will no longer have any control over where he plays, Patriots or otherwise.

My bad on Revis, forgot his memorable stint on the Bucs...how about the Belichick trade? Not a player, but he turned out pretty good.

He probably had the best 5 year stretch for the Browns since 1990.

Yep, and the Jets thought enough of him to name him head coach.gerryb323 wrote:He probably had the best 5 year stretch for the Browns since 1990.

Re: Matt Forte
Nice game tonight for Matt - 77 yards rushing and 2 TD's, and 4 receptions.

Re: Matt Forte
Forte was mentioned all day yesterday leading up to the Army/ San Diego St game as SDS' RB had 4 straight games of 200yds and that is the longest streak since "Matt Forte at Tulane in 2007". Every time ESPN did a promo they mentioned Forte's streak.
