The Bears will not rush into an extension for running back Matt Forte, who had a career year in 2010 and has one year remaining on his rookie contract. But franchises like hungry players, Forte has had one super year but two OK ones, and the Bears will not be in a rush to do anything with Forte early. One source told CSNChicago.com that Chester Taylor would be cut after his one disappointing year at huge money, and at 32, Taylor’s arrow is definitely not pointing up. But the team has paid him already and is not under money pressure at the position because Forte and Taylor combined are far below elite money. Source: Comcast SportsNet Chicago
And I'm not surprised by that stat. Taylor was always going to be a "luxury" for the Bears, despite the fact the money could have been used in more pressing needs.
I wouldn't be surprised either way, he's due nearly as much money this year (1.275 million ), and he is a good blocker and receiver.
