LAKE FOREST, Illinois (Ticker) -- The Chicago Bears agreed to
terms with rookie running back Matt Forte on a four-year
contract Wedneaday.
Forte, who was selected 44th overall in this year's draft,
figures to compete for a starting job with the Bears this
season. The Louisiana native rushed for a school record 4,265
yards in his four years at Tulane.
With the Bears releasing starting running back Cedric Benson
because of off-the-field incidents, Forte will look to challenge
veteran Adrian Peterson for the bulk of the carries in Chicago.
