Link <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>The Chicago Bears agreed to a four-year deal with second-round draft pick Matt Forte, the former Tulane running back expected to replace Cedric Benson in the lineup. Rookie Matt Forte discusses his offseason at Bears camp and his role in the offense. Chicago sent a loud message to Benson when it took Forte with the 44th overall pick and thrust them into a competition that never materialized. The Bears waived Benson in June after three ineffective, injury-plagued years following his second alcohol-related arrest in a month. Unless the Bears sign a veteran, Forte figures to get most of the carries. He finished second on Tulane's career list with 4,265 yards rushing and 5,261 all-purpose yards while setting school records in rushing touchdowns (39), total touchdowns (44) and yards rushing per game (99.2). First-round pick Chris Williams remains unsigned.</div>
