Forte said repeatedly that he'd love to stay with Bears

By signing Matt Forte to a real deal worthy of his talent, New Chicago Bears GM Phil Emery has a unique opportunity to succeed where Jerry Angelo failed. Emery may be the one to listen to reason and value his players and their worth to the team, while Angelo resisted negotiating with talent that clearly wanted to remain in Chicago. Fans love wearing the Urlacher Bears Jersey, which can be worn by a common players. In all of the NFL last season, Matt Forte was one of the most underpaid players. He commanded a paltry $550,000 base salary. Forte was seriously undervalued while that is more than many of us could hope for in a living wage, for his profession and talent. Rushed for nearly 1,000 yards, and scored three touchdownsThe running back earned a trip to the Pro Bowl this year. That is pretty impressive for a player who hasn't broken the million mark in salary. Forte has said repeatedly that he would love to stay with the team. He has made a home in Chicago, his wife is from here, and the Bears organization is highly-respected. Providing a huge range of Devin Hester Jerseys, with different styles and sizes. However, Matt Forte has made it clear that he would only accept the "franchise player" tag if it were to come along with a long-term deal. He stated in an interview that if there was no such deal , "if it's just to hold me another year and just, 'Let's throw some money at him right now to keep him quiet,' that's not going to solve anything." Forte's base salary last year was roughly the same amount of money that Angelo was not willing to cough up to keep Olin Kreutz. Let's remember it. Emery has stated that he will consider the franchise tag, and that the Bears do not want Forte on the market for another team to snatch up. Phil Emery's ability to negotiate with key players who want to stay with the team will be the key to how fans perceive him. Emery has not made mention of how long any deal offered would be for, while that is somewhat reassuring. He may be on his way to repeating Jerry Angelo's mistakes if he thinks that he can hold on to Forte for a year or two. Either way, most fans will agree that he needs to do whatever it takes to keep Forte on the team. Whitney Levon is a Chicago native whose dedication to the Bears goes back to her first football memory; the Bears' 1985 Super Bowl victory. This's the link for Josh Beekman Jerseys, at best price and high quality. Well, smart teams don't pay runningbacks they are disposable use them up and if your lucky you can trade them at peak value otherwise you dump them and move on to the next one. Ask Tennesee and Minnesota how paying their runningbacks worked out for them. Maybe it's just me but the majority of this years playoff teams have undrafted free agents or late round picks playing major roles at the position.
