Justin Forsett

After bouncing around with four different teams, Justin Forsett had a career revival in Baltimore. Under offensive coordinator Gary Kubiak, Forsett  rushed for over 1,200 yards and 8 touchdowns in 2014. He was on pace to have a decent 2015 season but it was cut short because of a broken arm that he suffered. In the following offseason Forsett was cut because of roster moves, but then resigned on a 2 year $6 million deal.

Unfortunately, the marriage did not last any longer. The Ravens chose to cut Forsett after a week 4 loss to the Oakland Raiders. He was already at the age of 31 and the team seemed more content with younger options. Terrance West and Kenneth Dixon took over the responsibility in the backfield.

This season the Ravens will be paying Forsett $700,000 from his signing bonus.
