The Bears have informed running back Matt Forte that they won't re-sign him. And no, his next team won't be the Minnesota Vikings.
The biggest NFL news of the day is that Matt Forte isn't going to be re-signed by the Chicago Bears. After eight NFL seasons, all in the Windy City, it appears that Forte will be playing for a new team in the 2016 season.
For whatever reason, Forte might be one of the most underrated and under-appreciated running backs of the past decade. He has been one of the best dual-threat backs since joining the league in 2008, amassing 12,718 total yards and 64 touchdowns.
