The Chicago Bears have continued their free agency splurge, signing former Vikings running back Chester Taylor to a four-year worth worth $12.5 million, according to ESPN Chicago. Taylor will reportedly receive $7 in guarantees as part of his contract.
It’s not immediately clear what role Taylor will have on the team. Brad Biggs of National Football Post reports, somewhat surprisingly, that Taylor “should be the starting running back” for the Bears. This would make sense given that Taylor’s pass-catching ability fits in well with what new Bears offensive coordinator Mike Martz likes to do with his running backs, but that is one of incumbent Matt Forte’s strengths as well.
