Matt Forte continues to receive support from his Chicago teammates as he awaits a new long-term contract from the team. Lance Briggs endured a similar situation back in 2007 when the Bears placed the franchise tag on him. The linebacker shed light on what Forte might be presently experiencing, advising the running back should "just do what you believe because no one knows you like you, and no one's gonna take care of you like you." "It's just rough. I know he wants to be out here with his team," Briggs said. "But you also know what your value is in this league and you work hard. You want that to be recognized with a long-term deal. "You know how this business is. It's rough. It can be brutal."
