Ryan Fitzpatrick and the New York Jets remain millions of dollars apart in contract talks, a stalemate that has Matt Forte concerned.

"I'd be disappointed (if I don't) get to work with him (given that he was here) last year and the good job he did," Forte said on CBS Sports Radio Tuesday. "But at the same time, you have to prepare yourself for the worst or if that doesn't happen."

The running back, who signed with the Jets this offseason, added: "I hope he does sign and come back so that we can continue to hold off the momentum from last year that him and Brandon and Eric and all the receivers and the offense had last year. We can take a step in the right direction in that aspect, continuing on with that momentum that they had last year. It's not all said and done yet, so we're still waiting."
