Bears' Matt Forte Feels 'Disrespected' By Michael Bush Signing

Forte is clearly the better player -- over his last four years with the Bears, he's rushed for a total of 4,233 yards and 21 touchdowns. Bush was one of the best running backs on the market this spring, but his stats -- 2,642 yards and 21 TDs -- pale in comparison.
