The Facts: Foreman signed with Chicago on a modest one-year, $3 million contract, but he has big plans for his time in the Windy City. Added as a replacement for David Montgomery, who is now a Lion, he was asked at Friday's introductory news conference how he envisioned the backfield share playing out with fellow RB Khalil Herbert and quarterback Justin Fields. While he emphasized his team-first mentality, Foreman did not shy from confidence. "I can't really say," Foreman answered. "I can't really speak for the coaches and the plan that they have. I came here to try to be the guy. If I didn't come here with that mentality, I would be doing myself a disservice. I think I would be doing the team a disservice. All due respect, humble confidence, I'm not trying to make it seem like anything other than exactly what it is. That's just me being confident in myself and feeling like I could come in and be the guy. And also be a guy that people count on, and I can help us win. I didn't come here to take a back seat to anybody."
Diehards Line:
Foreman likely won't enter the season as Chicago's primary running threat -- not after Herbert led all RBs with 5.7 yards per carry in 2022 and Fields led all players by averaging 7.1 yards a pop on his way to the second-best rushing season by a QB in NFL history (1,143 yards). But there are 201 carries from last season vacated by Montgomery. Given a share of them, the newest Bears running back has proven what he can do.
