Not surprising. That's what Forte should accept.

Agreed.

That should be the least that the Bears offer to Forte

Agreed. Lynch got similar ground production this year as Forte, and was much more productive in finding paydirt. Forte offsets that with receptions. Four TDs in 12 games though?

 

Now that he has a major injury problem, Forte should take a contract like that and be happy about it.

Lynch got similar ground production this year as Forte, and was much more productive in finding paydirt, really doesn't have any merit because 1. Forte didn't play in the last four or five games 2. we used Barber in the red zone to limit Forte's touches 3. Forte was use in the passing game more than Lynch and 4. Seattle did a little better job blocking than our line. So if you really compare the two Forte does more and is has more value than Lynch.

That's a similar guarantee to what I'd expect Forte to get, but I'd imagine they try to stretch his out over 5 years.

I suspect this will set the standard for Forte:

 

Running back Arian Foster has agreed with the Houston Texans on a five-year contract extension, according to a tweet posted by Foster's agent.

 

It will establish a ceiling, not sure if it will be matched, maybe something similar.

 

I am anxious to hear the terms which are now being finalized.

Agreed. Forte is light years better than Lynch. Lynch is about as good as Marion Barber. Put Lynch is our crappy offense the past two years and he wouldn't have earned squat.

 

 

If he settles for the same pay as Lynch then his agent is a dunce.

It does have merit because my statement was based upon average per game. The two were similar in production, but Lynch easily had more TDs. Otherwise, I agree with what you've said.
