2012: Free Agent (Franchise Tagged)
Share:

Latest News
Recent News
The Chicago Tribune suggests Jay Cutler could get a new long-term contract before the Bears give one to unsigned franchise player Matt Forte.
That, of course, wouldn't go over very well with Forte. It's also more confirmation that the Bears have no intention of paying Forte's current asking price. Cutler has two years left on his contract. Forte doesn't have a contract at all, and Bears rookie GM Phil Emery is playing hardball in negotiations.

Chicago Tribune
The Chicago Tribune reports there have been no signs of recent progress in contract talks between the Bears and unsigned franchise player Matt Forte.
Forte’s player rep was in Chicago last week, but isn't known to have talked with GM Phil Emery. The Tribune reported Sunday "it is believed" Forte was seeking a deal worth $8.5 million annually before the Eagles locked LeSean McCoy up at an annual rate of $9 million. It's quite possible Chicago is simply planning to force Forte to play under his $7.7 million tender.

Chicago Tribune
According to the Chicago Tribune, "it is believed" that unsigned franchise player Matt Forte's agent was asking the Bears for a long-term contract worth $8.5M annually before the LeSean McCoy extension.
McCoy wound up signing a $9M-per-year extension, although it's really a six-year, $45.615 million pact because the "extension" was just tacked onto the final season of McCoy's rookie deal. Forte's asking practice is reasonable all things considered, but the Bears have simply shown no urgency to pay it. They could franchise tag Forte again in 2013 and retain him for $9.25M next year after forcing him to play 2012 on the one-year, $7.7M tender.

Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune believes there's "no chance" unsigned franchise player Matt Forte would skip regular season games.
Forte skipped the conditioning program and might not show until deep into training camp, but reliable beat reporter Briggs is convinced he'll be back by Week 1. "I'm saying there's no chance that happens," Briggs wrote regarding the possibility of a regular season holdout. Forte and the Bears still don't seem any closer in talks. He's owed $7.7 million under the franchise tag.

Bears WR Johnny Knox (back surgery) acknowledges he could miss all or part of the 2012 season.
After losing 30 pounds and regaining 10 in rehab, Knox is still a long way from participating in practices. Although he's graduated to jogging, Knox has yet to run routes. "My main focus is in the weight room. I'm not in a rush," explained Knox. "This is my spine, the core of my body I'm dealing with. It's not my knee, ankle or shoulder. I'm taking my time." Knox remains without a timetable to return.
