RBs get paid; Forte gets $32 million; Rice gets $40 million

The Chicago Bears and Matt Forte agree to 4 year deal that totals $32 million dollars. Ray Rice gets a 5 year deal from the Baltimore Ravens that totals $40 million.

The Rice deal will pay him $17 million the first year and $25 million over the first 2 years.

Both RBs expressed their displeasure with the franchise tags placed on them by their respective teams. They both planned not to show up any team activities until the deals were done. Now, we know who is going to picking up the tab for a few dinners.

Expect more deals to come including the Ravens Ed Reed and QB Joe Flacco, Maurice Jones-Drew, Derrelle Revis, and more.

More-Cowboys-will-be-named-in-Sam Hurd-drug-case

Sources are telling us to expect more NFL players, including Dallas Cowboys, to be named in association with Sam Hurd's arrest. Reports have stated there is a list of 10 - 15 NFL players that have allegedly done illegal business with Hurd. Hurd spent the bulk of his career as a Dallas Cowboy and it was during that time he began to make his drug connections. The Cowboys have been associated with the drug trade before with other ex-players being charged and even convicted of drug related offenses. The North Texas area has long been a hot bed of activity for federal agents which led to Sam Hurd hitting the radar. Reporters were met with angst in the Cowboy locker room when asking questions about their former teammate, including ESPN.com writer who got into a verbal altercation with Jay Ratliff and ended with the two having to be seperated. The NFL, Chicago Bears, and Dallas Cowboys have been in contact with federal agents.
