Justin Forsett: Latest News, Rumors and Speculation Surrounding Free-Agent RB

Tyler
Conway
A year ago, Justin Forsett was one bad training camp away from being out of football for good. After a surprising breakout 2014 campaign, Forsett’s become one of the most coveted free agents on the market.

Continue for updates.

Redskins, Saints Interested in Forsett
Friday, Mar. 6
Ian Rapoport of NFL.com reported that if Forsett doesn't sign with the Ravens, both the Redskins and Saints are likely to make a play for him.

Forsett Comments on Talks with Ravens
Sunday, Mar. 1
Forsett spoke to Aaron Wilson of the Baltimore Sun about the state of talks with the Ravens and the potential of a return to Baltimore:

"It’s a waiting game right now," Forsett said. "I know both sides have interest. It’s crazy how things can turn out but hopefully, preferably everything can work out.

"I would love to stay here. I want to be here in Baltimore. They gave me my shot, gave me my opportunity. But then again, there’s that business side we have to work out. I’m praying that everything works out.”



Dont like it.
One good season and will want a payday. No thank you

Let Redskins have him. Give me Roy Helu (PT replacement)

Hopefully his light came on last year and his future is bright. Maybe he would be a good Saint.

PT only saved us 830K against the cap. WTF and he knows the system and he still has a few good years left. Screw Forsett. Coach WTF?

Re: Justin Forsett
 
He sure ran all over us. I really like the guy, but what does he cost? He is little and slow. Obviously he has great vision, is totally fearless and very quick. He's gotta be stronger than he looks too, because he looks like he weighs about 160lbs. Similar to Sproles, but I think Sproles is actually bigger than Forsett.

I hope it's just a smokescreen. Ya know, so no one knows who they want in the draft.

"Pass, one good year does not a good back make…." -Yoda. He could just as easily be running for the Spokane Shock or Iowa Barnstormers in the Arena league. If we can't do better with the cats we have, then just wait. Someone will be looking for work eventually, then we'll get 'em at a decent price. or possibly towards the end of the draft….bigger needs taken care of first.

Re: Justin Forsett
 
It all depends on what he wants. If he wants big money... yes we should pass.
If he wants reasonable money, I'd definitely consider it.

Alfred Morris has been a very good RB for the Skins. Head scratcher as to why they would be interested in Justin.

cap the way it is and the draft looking pretty good

draft one and save the money

There are better options than Forsett on the market...

Wait and see what Dallas does to leverage Ingram against Murray...

Jacksonville has beaucoup to spend and in need to take the load off the Bortles sophmore season...

Oakland will be looking for change after McFadden had a disappointing tour...

San Diego is in the same boat after Ryan Matthews failed to be the full-time replacement to Tomlinson...

Atlanta's Steven Jackson experiment failed...

Carolina will be moving on...

Lots of teams may pay just a bit more than we can spare, but I don't see spending money and rolling it forward on Forsett...

Re: Justin Forsett
 
my two favs are in round 3

Jeremy Langford - has the speed
David Johnson - has the power

both have hands and know how to pick up the blitz.

Rotational RBs should not take up a ton of cap space. plus either of these two have a solid shot of filling the void cutting PT leaves behind and have a chance of doing Ingrams role also. well not the IR bit.

My worry is taking a RB in the third when we have so many holes to fill. Dont get me wrong if a great talent os there fair enough but with needs at ILB/OLB/DL/OL/CB i really think other needs come first. The one thing the front office has a eye for is RB talent late in UDFA over the past 10 or so years

Take that RB signing money and put it towards your list. much rather put the extra money in a veteran at any of those positions over a part time piece for our RB committee system.

after PT we had Ivory who the brain trust traded, then who?
Robinson did not impress me last year and the year before he was ok

PT is gone.
Cadet has been nothing but a tease and i have fallen off that band wagon
Hightower here to wishing and praying

sorry serviceable at best IMO and over rated by the media much like our depth WR.

Do not waste a multi first pick again or tie up huge dollars on a RB in our system.

versatility first. PT/Sproles must be replaced.

then look for gold else were after the draft. who knows Robinson could shock the world and really look like a player to take over

To me RB is one of the few positions where a rookie can actually come in and really make an immediate impact. I'd rather see us spend that money on FA for other spots and draft a RB
