The Jets are reportedly interested in signing former Bears running back Matt Forte

The Jets have lost Chris Ivory to the Jags but if they get their first reported target to replace Ivory they will have found an upgrade. According to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Netwok the Jets and the Dolphins are both interested in signing Matt Forte.

Forte, of course, won't be cheap. Ivory got around $6 million per year, Doug Martin just signed a five-year $35 million contract to stay with the Bucs and former Dolphins running back is waiting to see similar numbers once he signs.
