Deal with Forte wouldn't hurt Bears' cap space
CHICAGO (MCT) — Whatever business the Bears want to knock out between now and the beginning of the season will not be limited by salary-cap space.
After signing the six-man draft class, the Bears have $3.81 million in remaining cap room, according to an NFL source. That gives them more than enough room to get a multiyear contract done with Pro Bowl running back Matt Forte, who otherwise will be on a one-year deal with the franchise tag.
