The Chicago Bears are taking all of the Carolina Panthers’ primary weapons. First, the Bears got receiver D.J. Moore in the massive trade that allowed the Panthers to move from ninth to first overall in the draft… and then, they signed former Carolina running back D’Onta Foreman to a one-year, $3 million deal that may rise to the level of outright larceny.
A late bloomer in the NFL, Foreman was a rotational and replacement back for the Texans and Titans through the first four years of his career. He was invisible through the first six weeks of the 2022 season with the Panthers, and then, the Christian McCaffrey trade happened. Foreman gained 34 yards on 12 carries in the first six games, and then, he went off. From Week 7 through Week 18, Foreman’s numbers were virtually identical to those of Browns franchise back Nick Chubb.
