mforte22Despite my wishes, my days as a member of the Chicago Bears have sadly come to an end. I was informed earlier this week from the GM that they will not be attempting to re-sign me in free agency. I will remain forever grateful for my time spent in Chicago and being able to play for an organization with such a rich history. My only regret is not being able to win a Lombardi trophy for the best fans in all of sports. I'm excited about the next chapter of my NFL career. But, Chicago will always be home. God Bless and Bear Down!


Patriots type guy?

Before I opened the thread the Patriots came to mind.

He's been extremely productive and underrated. He should try to contend for a SB and the Pats desperately need RB depth.

He recently said it's not about the money, he wants to win Super Bowls. So the Pats could be a possibility. I can see Dallas as a possible destination as well, they need a RB

Forte would be a tremendous addition to Kubiak's scheme in Denver.

He said recently he could see himself in Denver or something. There was buzz before the trade deadline this season the Broncis might trade for him. C.J Anderson is serviceable but they have no other running backs worth a damn.

He's an incredible receiver out of the backfield. Would be dangerous with any good passing attack, especially the Patriots.

I would like to see him go to the Giants. Would make that a very interesting offense.

Forte is criminally underrated. He's quietly been one of the best and most consistent backs in the league his entire career (and not so quietly in my fantasy lineups).

I imagine he'd want to try to win a ring and be that reliable vet on his way out so I think NE/Denver are the most likely. Maybe Seattle with no more Marshawn
