Matt Forte (Chicago Bears)

Matt Forte contract Chicago Bears

Franchise player Matt Forte expressed frustration with the Bears' Thursday signing of Michael Bush.
"There's only so many times a man that has done everything he's been asked to do can be disrespected!" Forte wrote on his Twitter account. "Guess the good guys do finish last." Added Forte's agent, "To sign yet another running back, prior to completing a contract with Matt suggests disregard for Matt and his contribution to the Bears." Forte may end up skipping offseason workouts and holding out of training camp in protest.
