I know I'm just a guy, but if it were up to me I'd bring him back and a fair deal. I wouldn't get into a bidding war but I would offer him a reasonable contract. I tell Matt that I want him to take more a joker / flex / 3rd down running back role and hopefully extend his career a few years. Langford is the starter but Forte still plays 65% of the snaps. Sometimes flexed out, sometimes in the backfield, sometimes in a dual backfield. He still has plenty left to offer, he is better than any 4th WR that is going to be on any roster (and I think that's selling it really short) and if Langford were to get hurt the offense wouldn't miss a beat. Forte could be a guy that creates mismatches, sustains drives, and keeps the offense in rhythm. I just feel like there is a lot to gain from keeping him around at a reasonable price and very little to gain (for the Bears and Forte) for letting him leave.
