Top of running back market likely unattainable for Forte, Rice, Jones-Drew | ProFootballTalk

Interesting to note that three of the highest paid running backs last year didn't do too well. AP signed a huge contract then tore his ACL and MCL. Chris Johnson barely rushed for 1,000 yards and only had 4 TDs. DeAngelo Williams rushed for less than 850 yards. The Bears have a right to be cautious.... Hey, if Forte and Cutler had stayed healthy, the Bears would have made the playoffs, and would have been forced to pay Forte. None of that happened, it sucks, but that is what happens when you gamble and lose.
