The Baltimore Ravens bolstered their defense in a big way by trading for now-former Chicago Bears inside linebacker Roquan Smith. They traded multiple draft picks and inside linebacker A.J. Klein to do so, signaling that they envision the two-time All-Pro to be a big-time contributor for the 2022 season, with the potential to be in Baltimore for a long time if the two sides can agree to a long-term extension.
On Tuesday, the Ravens’ official website updated their roster to include Smith, with his jersey number being listed along with it. According to the website, the 25-year-old will wear No. 18 in Baltimore, moving off of his old number of No. 58, which is currently occupied by defensive lineman Michael Pierce.
