Rap Sheet: Bears still looking to deal Forte

[RacerX]

I never understood this "fair market value" thing.

Whatever pick you get, is fair market value. Unless you think Pace got a better offer but decided to trade him for less. The league determined a 5th rounder was fair market value for Marshall because that is the most any team would offer. It's pretty simple, really.

A couple examples: Gaines Adams was (likely) going to be released, his FMV at most was a 6th round pick, JA apparently had his own value-based system (read: monkey with darts).

Also, see Mirer, Rick.

There is proof though cause Tom Brady does it.

And what happened when Brady had a big receiver in Moss?

 

[WindyCity]

I don't really see a contending team with

-need
-cap space
-and extra picks

I doubt anyone is making the move.

hmmm he was taken at what? 9th or 10th overall? so id say youre wrong....or hes just that damn special of a talent to where teams were willing to take the "risk"

I said very few GMs would take a RB with a torn ACL (especially circa 2015) with their 1st round pick. And only one team did (and luckily for my argument, only one team can). On top of that, unless you saw Gurley on most teams secret 1st Round draft sheet, I can't be wrong. :lol:

Ummm... Moss caught 23 TDs and they were 18-1 losing to the Giants on a ridiculous helmet catch. Which the escape by Manning was more amazing than the catch itself

then i cant be wrong to assume that many of the teams slotted 11 - 32 would have taken him based off of being the BPA, which is pretty likely imo. he wasn't going to fall much past the rams pick

 

[WindyCity]

Denver is literally the only team I can think of that would have interest.

Pretty much this. You can't trade without a counterparty.

Forte would help that team.

 

[knoxville7]

forte would help Carolina out and we all know we like trading with them

Well, I never said you were wrong; but you can crown your own gluteus maximus if you like. :lol:

You don't know if teams 11-32 had Gurley at the top of their BPA. You can only assume... just like I'm doing. :yep:

These rumors are only speculation. No one knows anything.

Have you ever attended a counterparty? Not much space there...

Speak for yourself. I know lots of things.

 

[knoxville7]

man, just imagine having forte and gurley in the backfield for a season together to reduce the number of times jay has to drop back to pass and risk fucking everything up lol

 

[Run the ball]

Seeing this thread title made me sad, just thought I'd share that.

 

[didshereallysaythat]

I am sure you do. Just not about Matt Forte.

Did Gronk get traded or something? His number one is Rob.

Matt has always been a quiet reserved guy, not jumping into the limelight. I kinda doubt he's freaking out for a Superbowl ring, the limelight, a new team, or another giant contract. I think he knows he's gonna be a 30 year-old RB, and wants to stay in Chicago if possible. He might be quite receptive to a reasonably priced short term resigning/ext.

 

[Chicago Staleys]

He ain't going anywhere.

Either is Jeffery like some other Bozo on here stated was happening based on a friends father friend girlfriends brother who has "inside" info.
