give forte the deal already. the bears have been teasing him like women tease me at nightclubs: relentlessly. always promising millions of dollars or a phone number and then they give us the same excuse: maybe next year. he deserves a deal and if he doesnt get it he wont be in camp and he wont be in shape and then he will lose everything he built and he will lose so much of what he is really worth

I really wish the Bears could tell the media/public what their offer(s) have been to Forte. Then we would truly see just how greedy he & his agent really are!

Matt Forte in Chicago is a must have. Is worth every penny he gets. Is a beast from the line do scrimmage.

matt forte just sign a damn deal, because with u our offense is loaded and unstoppable

Unstoppable?? Seriously?? Why, because of Marshall? Don’t forget, you still have that offensive line (which they did nothing to address) that is below average and, last time I checked, an offense goes as the oline goes. So let’s take it easy with the unstoppable talk. And don’t tell me just because the Bears got rid of Martz the guys up front will suddenly be pro-bowlers.

Get your money, Mr. Forte. No position in sports is more demanding or takes more of a beating than NFL running back. Get it while you can, because you’ll likely be crippled by the time you’re 45 years old.

Matt Forte clearly deserves a better deal than what is currently playing under but sadly guys like Chris Johnson and Sean Alexander have really ruined it for RBs. Too many of these guys go down hill fast after signing these mega deals. This is why I don’t think Forte will get a ton of money (most likely a nice chunk up front that will allow them to cut him in a year or two without a big cap hit) nor will MJD get a big extension. RBs are the most likely to get injured and easiest to replace.

These guys skip camp and come in when there in shape but not “Football Shape”… Then go on to have a bad year because of that set back.. Chris Johnson is the latest example of this.. Forte may want to give this a little consideration.. You can’t get in “Football Shape” without playing and training with a football team..

Don’t tie up the future of this organization with a 27 year old RB with knee issues
