Chicago Bears' Matt Forte has been one of the most consistently great NFL running backs over the past eight seasons. But everything, even good things, has to come to an end at some point. While it may not be a breaking news concept, the latest rumors on Forte's contract situation doesn't seem to promising for staying in Chicago, despite one of the Bears best players, Kyle Long, recently saying how much he's wanting the RB to stay.
Long, the Bears Pro-Bowl-caliber offensive lineman, addressed the media after their 26-21 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers yesterday.
"When you think Chicago Bears, you think Matt Forte. Period," Long said via ESPN.
But Long understands that this is a business, and nothing lasts forever in the NFL.
"I'd love to play with Matt forever, but it's a business," Long said. "I understand that. If he is around, I'll be as psyched as anybody. And it will be one of the hardest things ever to see him in another jersey if that's the case. But we have one more game with him, sure. We're going to run the workhorse until the wheels fall off."
