Forte

Will Matt Forte rush back from his knee injury?

Jon Gruden says he can't imagine any player not rushing back to play because of a contract dispute. So let me get this straight - a guy gets a career threatening injury (knee) - where he is a vital element to a team who will not sign him to a long term contract because they know the diminishing value of running backs in this league. And you expect this guy to rush back and risk his career to play? What happens if he's lost a little burst? His value just went way down. The Bears won't sign him and he'll lose millions of dollars.

They treat these guys like pieces of meat in the NFL and then expect them to be warriors. They expect them to be all about the team, but them cut them and toss them the minute they can be replaced. They demand loyalty and give none in return. One day, it is all about sport and pride, the next day, a cold hard business. The NFL is the only sports league like this. NBA and MLB - those guys get guaranteed contracts and are way overpaid. Not so in the NFL. Forte makes like 600,000 a year. I'm sure he pays an agent and a lawyer. This guy is a top 10 offensive player in the NFC.
