Bears are not going to waste a valuable pick on RB with gaping holes at RT, FS, and DE. I agree with Chester Taylor though- he’d be a beast in Martz’s system.

We are also so deep at SS we could give them away 4 some picks or package them for Osi. Imagine this Front 4:

LE Osi U
NT V Wilfork
DT Tommie Harris
RE A Kampman

And the Secondary:

LCB C Tillman
SS Al Afalava
FS OJ Antogwe
RCB Z Bowman

The Giants have two former first round picks in the secondary, Aaron Ross CB and Kenny Phillips at FS, and both were on injured reserve last season, so there’s already solid potential. Factor in Corey Webster, a solid corner and really all they need is depth, something their draft can bring, plus we would have to sign Daniel Manning then trade him since he is restricted. And who is going to want Nate Vasher with his monster contract and sub-par performance as of late. I’d give them a 2nd and a player or two tops, but I see no players they’d want.

ie we can’t give them trash and expect to get a player of Osi’s quality back in return. it just doesn’t work that way.

I kinda like LT. He has enough wheels left to push Forte, which isn’t something anyone else on the roster has been doing. I think LT would be a solid back-up and he would light a fire under Matt’s bum. Assuming of course that he could be had relatively cheap and that he would accept a back-up role.

I say wait to see if he’s on the market late in FA, and if he is still there (and he very well could be. The league is not lacking for good RBs right now) offer him a spot as a back-up. If he declines, so be it. But if he accepts, he’s a solid mentoring back-up that might put a little worry in the back pf Forte’s mind.

I like Forte, don’t get me wrong. And I know he was injured. But he also seemed very apathetic last season, and really only seemed to play with heart after Bell ran off that 72 yarder on his first carry. I just felt like he was phoning it in for a while. I hope he turns it up a notch this season.
