EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- There are a lot of trade rumors swirling in the NFL this week, and one of them concerned Matt Forte, who reportedly is being shopped by the New York Jets.
Forte isn't buying it.
"There's nothing to even talk about -- fake news," the veteran running back said after Thursday night's preseason finale.
Forte said he was assured by "the man who makes the moves" -- general manager Mike Maccagnan -- that he won't be traded.
"He basically told me don't listen to the reports -- not true," he said.
