FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- In what could be called a delayed parting shot, Brandon Marshall dumped on his former team two weeks ago, saying in a radio interview the New York Jets have no chance in 2017.
Maybe he's right, but no professional athlete wants to hear something like that from anyone, let alone a former teammate. Matt Forte, who played with Marshall on two teams (Jets and Chicago Bears), brushed off the comment Friday, but it clearly didn't sit well.
"It doesn't matter, he's not here," Forte said on the first day of training camp.
