PFSIKH Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 It is a very nice signing. I was hoping Forte wanted to win and would come to Foxboro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joewilly12 Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Beginning to think this signing is mainly to HELP our new starting QB Geno Smith how can anyone screw up with Forte in the backfield and Decker and Marshall at WR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prime21 Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Hope we can still resign Powell and then draft someone to groom. Forte is a great pick up for a short stint of a year or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forte was cut, so he shouldn't count against future picks. Hoping for another LT situation. Great locker room guy, over 1000 combined yards. Forte was cut? When did this happen?

So we'd better lose at least 4 more UFAs to other teams otherwise this signing just cost us a 4th round draft pick next year lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although Snacks for over 9 a year is big. And losing Ivory for 6 to sign Forte for 4ish should still get something, maybe a 6? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They only try to match them up if there are more losses than gains. If it comes to pass that Snacks is the only UFA we lose and Forte is the only UFA we win, then they cancel out and we get nothing. Wouldn't matter even if Harrison's compensatory pick was valued at a 4 and Forte at a 5. They cancel. Edit: Never mind. Just saw you also mentioned losing Ivory. Yes, most likely Forte and Ivory would cancel each other out and we'd get a pick for Snacks. But they're all both in the same 4th round comp pick range, and Forte a 5th. If that's the case and if we lose a FA to a 5th round contract, then they try to match them up. They wouldn't cancel out a 3rd round comp pick because we signed Forte unless that 3rd rounder was the only UFA we lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Il Mostro Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 1 hour ago, KRL said: A combination of Marshall, Decker & Forte on the field at the same time puts incredible pressure on a defense. You're basically trying to cover 3 WR's One of whom can kill with a draw play. Forte will be great in the Jets offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cant wait Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 1 hour ago, Sperm Edwards said: Not that it's any slam dunk Fitzpatrick returns, but the difference in Fitzpatrick with and without Powell at his disposal was night & day. Partly because of the type of QB Fitz is (his RB is always his #2 target) but a great outlet out of the backfield is of enormous help to any QB. He's especially useful with Gailey as our OC no matter who the QB is (ok, almost no matter who). Huge asset to have, dropping back that many times and there's someone who catches everything who's always open if no one else is. $5M is well worth what he brings to the table on a >$150M salary cap. Well it should be a big help for a QB that can't throw accurately past 20 yards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
