Forte has an argument

Matt Forte I sympathize with. No position in the NFL has a shorter life expectancy than running back, and those guys have to make their money early on or risk never having the big payday.

Last year Forte rushed for 1,069 yards and had 547 receiving yards. Only one other player in franchise history has rushed for over 1,000 yards with more than 500 receiving yards – Walter Payton. Only five players in the NFL accomplished that feat last season. read more
