The Facts: The Bears have announced they signed Rodgers to one-year deal.
Diehards Line:Rodgers, who spent the last four years in Atlanta, joins a Chicago club with Matt Forte and Ka’Deem Carey as their top two backs. Rodgers was of most use in the passing game during his tenure with the Falcons, catching 155 passes for 1,104 yards and five touchdowns while also playing the role of pass blocker when the situation called for it. He didn’t add nearly as much as a runner, but that’s probably not the chief concern in Chicago with Forte and Carey already on hand. Again, fantasy owners would point out that much of Forte's value comes from his receiving totals; adding a receiving back isn't necessarily what we're hoping for.
