Redskins | Forsey Signed - from www.KFFL.com Wed, 4 May 2005 13:18:56 -0700
Agent Derrick Fox has confirmed to KFFL that the Washington Redskins have signed free agent RB Brock Forsey (Dolphins) to a one-year deal. Financial terms were not available.
As long as he comes cheap, then there is absolutley no downside to signing him. Zero. On the other hand, there is that outside chance that he makes the team. Or that he actually makes an impact.
It's not about needing another runningback. It's about giving ourselves options.
Former Boise State football star Brock Forsey signed a one-year contract with the Washington Redskins on Wednesday, his agent said.
Forsey, a running back who was waived by the Miami Dolphins last week, signed the contract after a workout with the NFL club.
His agent, Derrick Fox of San Diego, said Forsey turned down a two-year contract offer because he becomes a restricted free agent after this season.
Forsey could earn up to $380,000 this season if he makes the Redskins roster, Fox said.
Forsey has played with the Dolphins and the Chicago Bears. He last played at Boise State in 2002 and left as the school-record holder in career all-purpose yardage, rushing touchdowns, total touchdowns and scoring.

It is an intriguing pick because it does not fit the role of a Gibbs back. Perhaps he is yet another pick for special teams but we have strong competition for those jobs already.
Daniel Snyder has defined incompetence, failure and greed to true Washington Redskins fans for over a decade and a half. Stay away from football operations !!!
this guy looks like an obscure punter... i dont know anything about him but I havent seen a successful white RB in a while (no offense)... maybe he'll be a good ST'er

There's nothing offensive about it, that's the truth. Not counting Mike Alstott (he's techincally a fullback, but in reality...), who was the last good (or even mediocre) white tailback? Merril Hoge? Travis Jervey? They were both pretty terrible...

Hehe...that's so funny...but sort of true!!!
"I was on the sideline and guys were talking about the score, and then it hit me -- we won by 21. I came in the locker room and I yelled it out, and immediately I just kind of broke down in tears. Because I miss Sean, you know."
I did a double take, thinking Johnny Samples for a minute. Not only is he recently dead, but we released him about 33 years ago.
That is a sure-fire way to get yourself released, being dead is.
"Sit back and watch the Redskins.
SOMETHING MAGICAL IS ABOUT TO BEGIN!"
