The Bears signed running back Michael Bush today to backup Matt Forte. Bush signed a deal worth $14 million over 4 years. This is about equal to the contract that Forte has right now under his franchise tag. Here's what Forte had to say about it over Twitter:
There's only so many times a man that has done everything he's been asked to do can be disrespected! Guess the GOOD GUYS do finish last....
for the record I'm not mad at the signing of another running back. This is 4th time that's happened. I embrace competition as well as help
Matt Forte But as for not taking care of ur own and undervaluing a player under his market value is another story! #twitterrant
Just Keeping it real...hate it or love it
Forte has every right to be mad about this situation. He has easily been the biggest offensive weapon on the Bears for the past 4 or 5 years. He has proven that he is one of the most, if not the most, talented running backs in the league. Last year he made the Pro-Bowl. And what does he get for it?? He gets paid the same as a below average running back. I think Forte is definitely gonna want out of Chicago. They are just straight up disrespecting him, and I think he needs to find a better team. He could really be the missing piece for a lot of teams. But like he said, he's a nice guy. I just hope he isn't too nice to actually get what he deserves. Good luck to Matt Forte in finding what you need man!
