Message: <blockquote data-quote="TJV" data-source="post: 427570" data-attributes="member: 4300">The chances of the Packers acquiring Forte are not zero, but it's so close to zero it's not worth a conversation except to dismiss it. IMO the last position to go after in FA is RB, as posted above, it's a burnout position and in the Packers pass-first offense it's not as important as other positions. And if you don't believe any of that, IMO TCHickman24 is correct: We need more talent on defense. If Thompson believes he has to acquire another RB (because Grant is almost certainly gone) I'll bet he thinks the best avenue to get one is through the draft. Speaking of the draft, just look where premier RBs go nowadays compared to 20 years ago, that reinforces a couple of the points I've advanced above.  Taking all that into consideration, I agree with The Real Pack Attack, it would be a huge mistake to sign him because those resources are needed elsewhere. And this will be the first time I post this in this offseason but  I'm sure not the last: Those expecting Ted Thompson to pursue a big name UFA are going to be disappointed. Remember Thompson acquired Grant with a sixth round pick. So JenningsLongCatch is right: There isn't a player on the planet Thompson would give up two first rounders for, most particularly a RB. And I'll bet there's not one player on the planet he'd give a first rounder for, straight up (no other picks included). </blockquote>
