None whatsoever.
Even less than that.
There goes many a Pats fans binky at RB

No way NE was going to even sniff that $$$ in contract dollars for Bush.
Now that Bush is a Bear that may mean Marion Barber is going to be released...any interest with Barber here perhaps at a reasonable price?
Sorry, Quik, but the Pats are never going to spend top dollar (and that's what it would take to sign him) on any running back. even one as productive as Forte. In fact doubt they'd pay Bush money for a RB.....let alone pay that kind of money AND give the Bears a first round pick.,Good Patriot fans, Bear fan here. Question: with 2 first round picks, restructuring Brady's deal, not to mention losing BJGE, do you think NE would be interested in Forte?
No. I don't think they'll trade a 1st round pick for any running back. Ridley showed a lot of potential last year, and they also have Woodhead. Add in another prospect in Vereen, and I seriously doubt they'll draft any RB higher than the 4th round, if they draft one at all.Good Patriot fans, Bear fan here.

However if you want to wait around here and get some Pats fans input, I'm sure you'll find several who would do that deal all day. Of course those are the guys who don't run NFL clubs, but Fantasy Football teams.
Last season the Pats made it to the superbowl paying their top RB- (BJGE) $1.8MM, and they wouldn't pay him more than that this year. They are NOT going to pay Forte $6-8MM/yr for 3-4 years to get the same end result.
Its not about the offense here, Quik, its about building a better defense.....and its getting closer

I'll start by saying I personally LOVE Forte's skill set. He would be the missing piece of a devastating hurry up attack with Welker, Lloyd, Gronk and Hernandez. That offense would be FAR superior to the 2011 offense considering the upgrades at WR2 and RB.
However we have already spent money on skill players (Lloyd, Gonzalez and Stallworth) and the defense needs to be helped by our remaining assets (cap space and draft picks). Using a 1st and most of our cap space on Forte would not be smart and the team would have a couple bad players on defense.
Just for the sake of discussion - would the bears do Welker for Forte?
Use #62...and go get Jonathan Stewart.......simple. The RB corps is filled with minimum wage/rookie contract guys. Go get a 3 down bruiser stud and let this offense be a balanced juggernaut....Stewart is the last piece to the puzzle. NO WAY BB goes into the season without out an addition to the RB corps
