Chicago Bears: 4 ripple effects from DJ Moore, D’Onta Foreman acquisitions
By Ryan Heckman
Ripple effects from the Chicago Bears signing D’Onta Foreman: Bears will be in the running back market in 2024
The Bears chose not to pay David Montgomery, who turns 26 in June. Instead, they handed the soon-to-be 27-year-old Foreman a one-year deal.
Unless Foreman goes out and finishes somewhere in the top five of the NFL in rushing next year, the Bears won’t be paying him before his age 28 season. Foreman might be a great 1-year rental, sure, but next year, the Bears are going to be in the running back market once again.
In fact, this is all the more reason to keep Herbert as the starting running back going into the 2023 campaign. He’ll likely be the guy the Bears choose to pay, if they pay any of their own backs. Foreman will be here and then be gone in a flash. Again, he’s a very good player and makes this offense better alongside Herbert.
But, next year, the Bears are going to be searching for a running back once again.
