Predicting where 10 top NFL free agents will sign
By Brad Rowland
Justin Forsett
Prediction: Washington Redskins
It is a shame that Forsett is already 29 years old. The former California Golden Bears running back exploded for easily his best season as a professional in 2014, rushing for 1,266 yards and 8 touchdowns as a member of the Baltimore Ravens.
Of course, Forsett was not supposed to be the starter in Baltimore, an honor that was reserved for Ray Rice pre-incident, but the eight-year veteran took full advantage. Now, the 5-foot-8 Forsett is looking to cash in, but he doesn’t have the long list of suitors that you may expect, given his age and relative lack of size.
Still, there could be a fit in Washington. Alfred Morris is already in place, but ideally, the two backs would serve as complements to each other and current third-down back Roy Helu is a free agent. Justin Forsett likely won’t get paid what a 1,200-yard back thinks he should, but it would be interesting to see him land in the nation’s capital.
