The only way we go after Forte is if we have an attractive offer on the table for both Murray and Felix.

I don't think if makes sense to give an RB a premier second contract. You rarely get your moneys worth because of the high rate of injury and burnout at the position. It is the first contract signed at draft that gets you value.
