Report: Packers interested in former Bears running back Matt Forte

Share

According to a tweet from ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Green Bay Packers are showing interest in former Bears running back Matt Forte.

Forte and the Bears agreed to part ways after eight seasons, with the Bears looking to get younger at the position.

The Packers already have Eddie Lacy, but James Starks is an unrestricted free agent and the Packers have long been in the market for a pass-catching running back.

It wouldn't be the first time the Bears' rivals grabbed a former player. After the Bears released defensive end Julius Peppers, he signed with the Packers and has tallied 17.5 sacks in two seasons.
