Bears to Meet With Forte’s Representatives This Weekend

The Chicago Bears and the rep­re­sen­ta­tives for star run­ning back Matt Forte will open con­tract talks this week­end at the NFL Scout­ing Com­bine in Indi­anapo­lis, a league source said Friday.

The Bears aren’t expected to let him become a free agent, and many antic­i­pate the team will use the fran­chise tag on Forte if the two sides can’t agree to a long-term solution. If Forte does in fact receive the fran­chise tag, his 2012...
