Congratulations Justin, 9 years is a long time in the NFL! :les:

Damn. Hope someone else picks him up. He's had a great run but I think he's still got a little mileage left.

2 seasons ago he had an amazing year. At least he'll have that career highlight. Hope he gets another job.

Hey, maybe Pete and John should take a l... *gets punched by ten different people*

Sounds like the Ravens are trying to see if they can bring him back, at a lower price. Depends on whether he wants to do what Babs and Locklear did here Pete and John's first year here.

Terrance West (of all people) has looked like a man on fire for them all pre season, and Dixon has looked really good too (although he'll miss the first few week).

Basically, if Forsett ain't gonna be your starter, why have him at this point? He lost his job because West climbed fr the last HB on the depth chart to the first.

Apparently for the purpose of having him as a backup? He was re-signed yesterday.

I reckon it all worked out in the end. 2 year deal, $6 million. Not bad for a backup role at 30.

Sign him. We need him backup. Go Seahawks

I think they signed him back already.

Good thing for all the auto drafters in FF recently.

Justin Forsett is reuniting with Gary Kubiak in Denver.

The Broncos have claimed Forsett off waivers from the Lions, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported, via a source informed of the situation.

Might Forsett contribute as soon as this week's game at Tennessee?

Rookie Devontae Booker is averaging just 2.80 yards per carry since replacing injured starter C.J. Anderson in Week 8. Backup Kapri Bibbs is in a walking boot this week after suffering a high-ankle sprain in Sunday's victory over the Jaguars.

Forsett thrived in Kubiak's lone season as the Ravens' offensive coordinator, rushing for a career-high 1,266 yards in 2014. Two years earlier, Forsett averaged a gaudy 5.9 yards per carry in Kubiak's Texans offense.

Now 31 years old and nearing the end of his career, a slower Forsett has averaged just 3.1 yards on 44 carries with the Ravens and Lions this season.
