Unga gets four-year deal

Good for him--I hope he finds success and happiness in all the areas that matter most. The contract is a nice thing too.

Wow! They signed him fast! And a four year deal. Way to go Unga!



I'm sure his baby's mama will be happy with that! Now she can live close to home.

Of course, now he just has to make the team, which will be no small feat considering all the running backs the Bears have. I wish him luck.

like who? the rb spot is wide open in chicago.

I mean, doing some digging the numbers go like this: Out of all of the RB's on the roster you have



Matt Forte the teams leading rusher:



258 carries for 929 yards (3.6 yards and 4TD's). Not exactly a fantasy football anchor...



Khalil Bell -

40 carries for 220 yards (5.5 yards and 0TD's)

Noteworthy that he is in his 3rd year this year, and a lot of players get cut before they get to their 4th because benefits, pensions, retirements, etc kick in for the players. So it remains to be seen if he will roster this year.



Chester Taylor

94 carries for 338 yards (3.6 yard average - 1 TD)



and Brandon Minor, a rookie from Michigan.



Not only does he have a great chance to roster for Special Teams on kickoffs, backup FB duty, etc. but he has a great chance to see touches as a RB for the Bears.

On the surface that is a good sign. I have nothing to compare it to, but a four year deal as a supplemental draft pick is a pretty big deal, IMO.



Have to agree that it will be hard for him to make the team though.
