LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- Chicago Bears running back Matt Forte said on Wednesday he is pessimistic about his chances of re-signing with Chicago when his contract expires after the season.
Forte has played eight seasons in a Bears' uniform since the franchise took him in the second round of the 2008 NFL draft.
"I mean, I want to return," Forte said. "But if you're saying, am I hopeful that I do return? There is not much to hope for that right now because like I said, I talked to [the Bears' front office] earlier and they haven't said anything back.
