Chargers could probably use him. Vikings? Who else? Or does he not get picked up off waivers?

Too old. I doubt anyone goes that route unless they really need to pick from the scraps.

I didn't realize he was that old. Only started hearing about him a couple years ago.

Somebody will pick him up. I doubt he'll play a significant role anywhere, but I could see a team like the Cowboys going after him.

I would have said the Hawks, but adding Spiller negates it.

Detroit or Chicago look like the front runners.

As the resident Forsett expert, I think you have to look at a team that has playoff hopes that is also desperate at RB. The AFC South will keep everyone involved and he could be handy in spelling Frank Gore in Indy. Minnesota might need some depth, though they seem to be okay. He doesn't really add a dimension to anyone's offense so much as he gives the ability to give quality carries. He won't beat up a defense with power. He isn't a dazzling runner or receiver. He shows up and does what he is supposed to do. He'd serve no purpose on a losing team. He isn't good enough to add anything to a really good offense.

First, it´s ridiculous how the Ravens handled the Forsett situation (cut him, re-sign him for nearly equal money, cut him again).

I guess the Lions will have the best shot to sign him, rumor has it that Forsett will visit Motown on Monday...

He's in Detroit right now, Caldwell coached him a year in Baltimore. Not sure how high their level of interest is though as they didn't re-sign Joique Bell when given the chance either

Nah. Unless Dunbar's knee is a significant issue (haven't heard anything as of this morning) I don't see them making a move at RB. They like Jackson so if Elliott or Morris were not available they would be comfortable moving him up.

He signed with the Lions... Nice pickup, without Abdullah they had to do something
