"We'd like to (work out a long-term deal with RB Matt Forte)," Bears president and CEO Ted Phillips said. "But as Phil pointed out we obviously will at least consider placing the franchise tag on him. We don't have any intention of letting Matt hit the open market. We'll sit down with him privately, Phil will, and discuss what the plans are prior to the Feb. 20 franchise tag date."

While it's common today for NFL stars to back out of the Pro Bowl for the smallest reasons, first-time players rarely miss.

Bears running back Matt Forte isn't going to pass on an expenses-paid trip to Hawaii. The club announced that Forte passed a physical and has been cleared to participate in the all-star game Jan. 29 in Honolulu.

Fantasy Impact:

Stevan Ridley impresses in his rookie season

It would be easy to overlook the contributions of Stevan Ridley this season in an offense featuring names like Brady, Gronkowski and Welker. After all, 53 running backs had more rushes than Ridley’s 87 carries, and Ridley only scored one touchdown on the season. However, evidence is mounting that the Patriots found a pretty solid player with the 73rd overall pick in last year’s draft. Ridley’s 5.1 yards per rush is 10th among the 56 running backs with at least 85 rushes. Ridley has been among the league’s most powerful runners, averaging 2.6 yards after contact per rush. That trails only Ben Tate, Isaac Redman and Donald Brown among running backs with at least 85 carries. However, Ridley was far more than just a niche power rusher, averaging a 20+ yard run once every 17.4 carries. That was the seventh-best average among backs with at least 85 carries, trailing Darren Sproles, DeAngelo Williams, Darren McFadden, C.J. Spiller, Matt Forte and Fred Jackson.

Fantasy Impact:

If he played for a different team, we'd be high on Ridley as a keeper/dynasty grab, but the Patriots have a reputation for shuffling their backfield around at a moment's notice.
