Matt Forte Says He 'Wasn't Joking' When He Asked Bears for Job

Matt Forte officially retired as a member of the Chicago Bears in April, but he's making a push to hang around with the club as a member of Matt Nagy's coaching staff.

On Tuesday, the 32-year-old replied to a tweet regarding his interest in the new role and said he "wasn't joking" following an initial pitch to the team that selected him in the second round of the 2008 draft.
