Position: Running back

Current personnel: Matt Forte (signed through 2019), Bilal Powell (2018), Tommy Bohanon (2016), Zac Stacy (2016), Khiry Robinson (2016), Dri Archer (2016), Dominique Williams (2017)

Key newcomers: Forte, Robinson

Departures: Chris Ivory (free agent/Jaguars); Stevan Ridley (free agent/Lions)
