He should in this case. He played out his rookie deal and was dicked around by the bears FO.

It's not even the fucking Super Bowl. Holy shit.

He absolutely should.

well, i typically don't agree with player holdouts and i don't agree with forte whining this season that the bears overworked him.

however, in this case, i think forte has more than proven he knows how to play this game and he's 'put in his time' playing under his rookie contract and he has given the bears great production that hasn't cost them much money.

Now, having said that, the Bears supposedly HAVE offered Forte a long contract, it just wasn't as much as Forte and many of us think it should have been.

Therefore, maybe the Bears just don't value a running back at what we and Forte think it should be. In which case, Forte should probably just take the $10 mill franchise tag money, play in 2012 for the Bears, and then go get a huge contract in free agency with another team.

I think if he sat out 2012, he would end up costing himself a ton of money in free agency. I don't think that would be a smart move.
