    I had him on my fantasy team that year so I watched him closer than normal, the only issue I remember was he stayed out one night drinking late with a lady friend and missed a team event the next day. IIRC the team suspended him for a game or something; he never b****ed about it, accepted the punishment and responsibility for the mistake. I don't remember any issues besides that, that year.

    Hope he's motivated and can make the team. He has a ton of potential.

    He was 'decent' a few years ago and a dud last year. Hopefully it was just an off year and he's serviceable.

    I have a good source that says he will not be signed -- don't know specifics on how the workout went just that he won't be signed.

    Also appears that we will be signing Justin Forsett for depth at RB and to compete at KR.

    If he isn't showing himself to be better than Lestar Jean, then pass ... I heard Posey is looking good, but Keyshawn is breathing down his neck ...nice 4th WR battle there. . .

    I will forever link him with what might be the best fantasy football team name ever:

    Run Forsett Run!

    I imagine there are only so many spots (5), with Andre, Walter, Posey, and Martin all likely stone cold locks.

    With the reports that Jean is killing it and Holliday is doing well, it may be an uphill battle for Sims-Walker to land a paycheck when we're already doing a cap dance.

    I think I remember Kubes saying he typically keeps 4 wr's on the active rooster.

    Justin Forsett agrees to terms with the Texans.

    I like the signing. He would be a good 3rd string running back. He has a career 4.6 ypc average and also is a very good receiver for a running back. Only 26 years old as well.
