Two days after losing David Montgomery to free agency, the Bears appear to have found his replacement. They agreed to sign running back D’Onta Foreman to a one-year, $3 million contract, a source confirmed Thursday night.
Foreman had 203 carries for 914 yards last year; Montgomery had 201 for 801 yards.
Pro Football Focus ranked Foreman as the 30th-best running back last season. He’ll be far cheaper than Montgomery, who agreed to a three-year, $18 million deal Tuesday night. The Bears figure to have Foreman share time with Khalil Herbert.
