Thread: MATT Forte Needs to Come to Denver

Of course it depends on what hes looking for financially, Elway is not going to invest heavily on a back at Fortes age. But make no mistake, this guy has an all around game that will help our offense tremendously. He is a real threat out of the backfield and can catch the ball downfield. Not to mention a brute in the run game.

Probably wont happen, and I would rather take care of in house players, but I would love to see him here. If chasing a ring is more important to him at this point than money, we have a chance.

If not, I heard Philly may cut Sproles.....that would be a much cheaper player but he still has that productivity. Would help the return game, as well as wheel routes out of the backfield.

Martin would be nice, but he had a career year and will probably get good money from someone. Chris Ivory, Alfred Morris, Bilal Powell, LeGarrette Blount, etc, are all UFA. Like I said, I wouldn't mind a cheap vet to compliment CJ and keep him fresh.

Denver will draft a guy. They've got too many proven vets on this team that need to be paid first.

Alfred Morris would be good in ZBS. Blount is not a fit. He's a situational short yardage back at best and wouldn't really want him in Denver.

Forte will be the bargain deal of those RB due to age.

Forte is best pass catching RB in NFL and he blocks great. This would be awesome on a fake and screen pass or check down.

I could see Morris as a fit here. I do think Hillman is gone and probably Juwan as well (didn't do much in admittedly limited chances, wasn't even active in our biggest games with only two other RB's on the roster). I could see Bibbs making it as a 3rd/4th guy next year:

CJ Anderson
Unnamed FA RB
Kapri Bibbs
Rookie

He's 30, but has a little left in the rank. I'd love to have him on a 2 year deal for 4-5 million.

I would roll with this. If it fails gimme some Christine McCaffery in 2017.

Oh, I'd love me some McCaffrey! Might be a long shot even next year, but it would be fitting. As it is, though, nothing we do this year will preclude us from drafting him (or another RB) high in 2017, if we so choose. I assume "rookie" in my model above would be a UDFA, where we've had some good luck. Unless we don't get anyone in FA, in which case they might want to draft pretty early.

No to Forte.


The only FA RB I would like on the Broncos is CJ spiller. He is everything hillman could ever orgasm too. That said I doubt he comes here and I honestly think we draft a back or two.


With that I present to you all the guy in my sig:


Tre Madden- Looks great for a ZBS. Not flashy but fast enough, strong enough, vision good enough, catches well enough, can be had in the 4th or later.
This is my sleeper for now

Pretty much. And Forte is very injury prone and will not come cheap.

Yeah, I know..... I just really like spiller and want to see him on my favorite team.
Nothing more than that.
