After a tremendous 2014 season, Justin Forsett crumbled back down to Earth in 2015. After several under-performing games and a broken forearm that ended his season, it’s possible the Ravens decide to go in another direction at running back. Forsett just signed a 3-year deal, but with not much guaranteed money left, the contract is eatable if the Ravens decide they need to upgrade the position.

With Marc Trestman back as offensive coordinator, there may be some internal talks to bring in Forte, who Trestman loved to utilize during his two seasons in Chicago. The Ravens could use a reliable security blanket like Forte out of the backfield and they will be looking to bounce back and contend in 2016 after a rough 2015 campaign. While this is a long shot because of Forsett’s contract, the fit is actually a good one.

Odds of signing: 50 to 1
