All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
He'll be 30 by the start of the season. Just pick up udfa's like most teams successfully do, imho. They're cheap, young, fresh, and if you can't find them your organization is lost anyway.
I actually heard that they were looking at bringing in Forte next year to be their primary, if they can add Bell to a healthy Lewis then they have a very versatile trio of RB's.
COMING SOON...

Not worth it. Hasn't averaged over 3.9 YPC since 2012.
My original post was actually made tongue-in-cheek. While I liked him at the point the Bills let him go, he had a bad year last year and is likely on his way out of the league. The Bills could probably do better with a fresh set of legs from a mid-round draft choice.

I heard Seattle was going to make a push for him, assuming Doug Martin and Lamar Miller get re-signed by their teams as expected.

DB loves him some Joique. I'd hate Forte on the Pats. He would really improve that offense.

When has Belichick ever shelled out big bucks for a halfback? Corey Dillion was the last "name" back he even brought in, and he got cut before his contract got expensive (http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/cincinnat.../corey-dillon/) Last year Forte made nearly twice as much as New England's entire backfield.
But Forte would fit into that offense nicely. He can run and catch.
A lot of guys over the years would have fit into that offense nicely. New England has never pursued them. I'd be extremely surprised if they start now, especially for a guy who's 8 seasons and 2000 carries deep in his career and likely to command several million per.

I have no doubt it doesn't make sense from a financial point of view, but its just something that's being floated. Floated so much that ESPN and a ton of local New England outlets have picked it up. Now some have made the same financial point you did, but who knows. BB will do anything to win, so I'm not going to rule out him reversing his position on paying out to RB's.

He's 13 months removed from a Super Bowl title and a month removed from his fifth consecutive AFFCG appearance. He's also had top 10 offenses for the last decade plus. He doesn't have any compelling reason to change his position, it's been working out just fine. I'd much more expect him to toss his 2nd at the halfback position rather then chase a 30+ veteran. ESPN and New England media love to speculate about this and that FA because it inevitably draws eyeballs, but I don't see a realistic chance of this unless Forte is willing to take an enormous pay cut to chase rings.
