Roquan Smith is entering a contract year with the Chicago Bears, where the young linebacker is gearing up for a massive payday.
Smith has been one of the NFL’s best linebackers, and he’s coming off another impressive outing in 2021. Last season, Smith totaled 163 tackles (4th in NFL), 12 tackles-for-loss (4th among linebackers), 27 pass tackle stops (1st), had a 3.6 missed tackle percentage (2nd) and a 76.8 passer rating allowed (7th for LBs).
When asked last month about a contract extension with Chicago, Smith made it clear that he envisions himself with the Bears for the long haul.
