LaMont Jordan: The Chicago Bears' New Running Back?

Jimmy Mac by Analyst Written on June 12, 2008

Sources indicate, and this isn't confirmed, that only a short time ago, LaMont Jordan was seen at Halas Hall, and he has apparently signed with the Bears after being released by the Oakland Raiders.

Though most fans were pulling for Forte to take over the starting role, it appears the Bears want a little more security at the position. Jordan signed with the Raiders in 2005 and rushed for 1,025 yards and caught 70 passes that season. Injuries, and the emergence of Justin Fargas, cut into Jordan's playing time for the past two seasons.

Jordan, 29, rushed for 424 yards in Oakland's first four games last season, second only to Pittsburgh's Willie Parker to that point. However, he injured his back midway through the fourth game and spent most of the final 12 games searching for a way to get back on the field.

I'll keep you posted as I continue to attain information.
