According to the Chicago Tribune, Bears franchise player Matt Forte is seeking 8.5 million per year in contract negotiations. This report comes at the same time that the National Football Post reported that Ravens’ franchise player Ray Rice is seeking 10 million per year. Forte’s asking price is more in line with what backs like Chris Johnson, Arian Foster, and LeSean McCoy have gotten in the past calendar year and there it’s more reasonable. Though there have been no recent talks between the two parties, I do expect a deal to get done and probably earlier than the Ravens get a deal done with Ray Rice.
