No offense, but I don't think you've looked at what NFL players are making lately if you think $1.5 to $3 million is fair for the league's leading rusher. Last year, 31 year old Chester Taylor got 4 years, $12.5 million (a little over $3 million/year) to be Forte's backup in Chicago after rushing for a whopping 338 yards the year before. 32 year old Thomas Jones got 2 years/$5 million, and I seem to recall people complaining that the Texans didn't offer this for him because $5 million is basically nothing in the NFL. And this is the high end of what you think the Texans will or should offer?
