Getty Images David Haugh of the Chicago Tribune indicated that he wouldn’t be surprised if Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler ends up getting a contract extension before running back Matt Forte and I can’t argue with him. I don’t even expect the Bears to re-sign Forte,  I think they’re dumb enough to let him walk in free agency after this season.  They haven’t respected at all over the past year and I get the feeling that they don’t care if  re-sign him or not. Cutler still has two year’s remaining on a five-year $50 million contract he signed back in 2009.  But let’s be honest quarterbacks make an offense go, not running backs.

Jay Cutler to get a long term deal from Bears before Matt Forte?

According to the Chicago Tribune, Jay Cutler could be getting a long term deal from the Bears before Matt Forte. Cutler is due 16.17 million over the final 2 years of his deal, while Matt Forte has yet to sign his 7.7 million dollar franchise tender in hopes of a long term deal. These are the first real rumblings of a Cutler extension and an extension would likely not sit well with...

This is just another sign that the Bears have no intention of paying Forte's current asking price but you have to wonder about their priorities, Cutler has two years left on his contract...

New Bears' offense takes Cutler, Marshall back to old days

Management has provided its franchise quarterback with Brandon Marshall, the receiver who was Cutler's go-to guy in Denver when he threw for a combined 8,023 yards in 2007 and '08.

Bears’ Michael Bush understands he’s a backup

Via The Football Fan Spot  |  May 25, 2012
In an interview with the Chicago Tribune, free agent acquisition Michael Bush communicated that he understood he was a backup in Chicago to Matt Forte and that his job is just to play when Forte is tired, hurt, or unavailable. This is noteworthy because Forte, who has yet to get a long term deal, felt highly respected when the Bears signed Bush, who started in Oakland last year in...

Via Pro Sports Daily  |  May 25, 2012
One of the early positive elements of the Chicago Bears' workouts, perhaps even an epiphany of sorts to some coaches, has been the performance of tailback Michael Bush as a receiver. The four-year veteran, signed from Oakland as an unrestricted free agent and presumptive backup to franchise tailback Matt Forte, has caught the ball well. There were some concerns as the Bears...

With Brandon Marshall part of his arsenal once again, Jay Cutler is excited about the Bears offense. Another receiver is making headlines with the Lions, but it’s for his absence after taking a swing at a teammate. In Green Bay, Aaron Rodgers will have some new challenges: breaking in a new center and working with inexperienced backup quarterbacks.

Could Michael Bush Get The Push For The Bears?

It’s been going on for a long time now, and there still doesn’t seem an end on sight. Of course, I am referring to the contract situation between the Chicago Bears and their star running back Matt Forte. Even the voices that were previously shouting ‘pay Forte’ have begun to go ominously quiet, as frustration seems to be setting in, both with the fans and surely with the...
