After Cedric Benson drank his way off the Bears, Lovie Smith maintained that the team wasn’t looking to bring in any running backs to complement Matt Forte, (the other) Adrian Peterson and Garrett Wolfe. That seemed like an odd approach since there were a handful of veterans who could potentially help them on the ground in 2008. It also sounds like an approach they’ve abandoned.
the move that means little Forte is a rookie and he’s still miles ahead of Jones. I just worry about a more convoluted committee if Jones is there. Doubt he’s going to the Steelers with Parker and Mendenhall already there.

re: Kevin Jones signed with the Bears. If Forte flops this season (like Brandon Jackson did in Green Bay last season) then look for KJ to get a lot of PT.
