jason Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 So, if the Bears are well under the salary cap this year, why wouldn't/couldn't they just do the following: -Sign Forte, and make a large chunk of the contract go towards this year's cap -Have multiple years of a cheaper Forte Seems like this, if permissable, would kill two birds with one stone.

I think it's past the time frame to count against this years cap, but I could be wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashkum is right. It's too late to apply new paper to this year's cap. That being said, I think nothing got done before the deadline because Forte was asking for more than they wanted to pay him by a big margin - including no big discounts in future years.
