March 5, 201214 yr comment_102096 Texans and Arian Foster reached agreement on a five-year, $43.5 million deal that includes $20.75 million guaranteed. per Shefter I think this is what Forte would be looking for. Report
March 5, 201214 yr comment_102101 That is actually good news. Foster is very comparable to Forte IMO, great running the ball, excellent catching the ball, both young. At this point in their careers Foster would probably be considered by many as the better of the two. So now the Bears have a legitimate bargaining point with a reasonable figure to work with. Report

Exactly. Foster > Forte. Similarly, Forte > Lynch. Both differences are by similar degrees. I'd say the gap between Foster and Forte is greater than Forte and Lynch. What that means: Foster got 8+ million per year. Lynch got 7+ million per year. Forte should get somewhere in between. This should not be that hard to figure out. If the Bears offer 7.5 and Forte doesn't accept, tag him for insurance and start looking for trading partners. Report
