Bears | Matt Forte speaks out

Chicago Bears franchise free-agent RB Matt Forte said Wednesday, June 6, that he's not looking to be the NFL's highest-paid running back, but seeking a long-term contract commiserate with his standing among other players around the league at his position. "All you can ask for is respect, and you go out there and you do your best to earn it. Respect isn't given to anybody," Forte said. "You've got to earn it out there. So the way I go about playing the game, preparing for it and the way I play, I feel I have earned the respect."
