Matt Forte To Dallas Cowboys Trade Is Heating Up And Here’s Why

[Bungarian]

However, the Cowboys have also been holding their cards very close to not let anyone know what they are up to.

Cowboys analysts Bryan Broaddus believes the Cowboys are going to add another piece to their backfield. He also believes that the Cowboys will probably be shopping offensive lineman Ronald Leary.

Give them Randle and Leary.

I wouldn't exactly call whatever this article is alluding to heating up. More like room temperature, if not slightly chilled.

He gets hurt more than murray. But we'll see what happens. Dont want to give up leary.

What?????? You take him in a heartbeat. He might be wearing down...but he has more tread on the tire than McFadden.

Exactly. Also Forte is nasty as a receiver. He literally is the only reason the Bears have been semi good the past handful of years.

Not too excited about Forte. A whole bunch of meh. 266 carries and his longest run was 32 yards last yr. Sound familiar?

 

[Avery]

That was a credible read - now time to take my unicorn in to get its oil changed.

 

[Craig]

I like fort, not really interested in him for the cowboys though. Cost to acquire and cost to pay would both be too much.

 

[JBS]

I'm not interested in forte either

You know who his QB and OL were right?

In on first page.

First off the Cowboys would need to clear enough space to accommodate Forte's base pay of $7 mil this season.

Then you have Fort's performance...

The guy is a decent back but he's no great shakes.

Lifetime 4.2 YPC average.

Last year he averaged 3.9 YPC on the season and his longest run from scrimmage was a whopping 32 yards.

On top of that he's 29 years old.

Given that they are the same age, I'd take Chris Johnson over Forte. Wouldn't cost a draft pick and the salary is much more palatable.

You realize their QB was a MVP prediction right?

 

[Typhus]

I wouldnt trade any of our OL for a RB. Dont get why everyone wants to trade away a position of strength on this team, that already is the deepest in the league, and will soon prove to be the best in the league, to aquire a RB,, like we need another RB right now.
Im sure several will be brought in throughout the course of the season, bottom roster churning, but until we have evaluated what is current on this roster, I see no reason why this team will be bringing a RB via Trade.
Now FA is another story, Tate, Thomas = free.

When I think of trading for a 30 year old running back Forte isnt the guy I had in mind.

Ah. Yeah a random prediction from a random individual has completely thwarted my previous post. Darn.

Exactly.

You've got Chris Johnson out there.

You've got Moreno out there.

If this team wants an aging back, Steven Jackson is out there.

None would cost a draft pick.
