Pay that man.

[Dragonite]

If they don't pay that man 31 other teams will try to pay that man

[TheSnowman]

Still need to decide whether to keep him on one of my teams because I have so many other options..

Hello franchise tag!

[TheSnowman]

I predict a tag as well, I'd be very surprised if he has a deal in place before the season.

[DaBearsrule4ever]

I'd be very suprised if Forte inked a new deal before the 2012 season as well. I can see this heading into next offseason.

The way the Bears are handling this guy is terrible.

[TheSnowman]

Before now, yeah I'd agree they fucked this up. But now that he's coming off a knee injury, although it wasn't a total fucking explosion, they'd be downright simple to give him a huge contract, and that's why they'll tag him. I usually support the players in these situations, especially when they're as professional and mature about it as Forte has been, but I can definitely see the organizational perspective in this one, and I have to say I'd lean toward doing the same thing myself.

[Steve12]

He should have had a deal before that knee injury happened. That's exactly what the Bears were waiting for. They were running this dude into the ground and not paying him because they knew at the pace he was going they wouldn't have to. He'd get hurt or worn out before they would have to give him a new contract. That is a pathetic way to treat your best player.
