Seems non committal and we'll have to go through the same issues next year. I just noticed the terms of these deals. Am I missing something? I'm not excited about any of the signings, maybe Jerry isn't either. Boomer or Decon, can you explain why all our free agent signings are for 1 or 2 years?

He's solid and we're out of options. Maybe he doesn't fit Martz's offense! Ironic that a run first team signs a coordinator that is pass happy and we change the whole roster to fit a scheme that may be gone next year. Forte is not an elite back, but he's versatile and resilient and if used correctly, productive. But we all know it means nothing without blocking TE's opening holes.
