Matt Forte confirmed what we've expected all season: the running back will hit the open market in March.
The running back announced on Instagram that the Bears told him they will not attempt to re-sign him.
"Despite my wishes, my days as a member of the Chicago Bears have sadly come to an end," Forte wrote. "I was informed earlier this week from the GM that they will not be attempting to re-sign me in free agency. I will remain forever grateful for my time spent in Chicago and being able to play for an organization with such a rich history.
