The Bears spent big running back money Monday on Matt Forte. This one is slightly more affordable.

The Bears announced they had agreed to terms with former third-round pick Lorenzo Booker, who has been with the Dolphins and Vikings.

Booker has experience as a third-down back and a kick returner, but the Bears signed former Falcons return man Eric Weems this offseason as well.

To make room for Booker on the roster, they released running back Alvester Alexander, an undrafted rookie free agent out of Wyoming.
