Chicago Bears star linebacker Roquan Smith was visibly emotional as he reacted to his teammate Robert Quinn being traded away to the Philadelphia Eagles - and he found out during a press conference.
Smith and Quinn were two of the best players remaining on the Bears roster - who are in a faze of rebuilding their team after already trading away a number of star players including Khalil Mack, Allen Robinson and Akiem Hicks earlier this year - but now Smith is one of the only true star players on the team. Smith has also requested a trade away from the team earlier this season after they had failed to come to an agreement on a contract extension.
And during a press conference ahead of the Bears upcoming game against the Dallas Cowboys, Smith held a press conference and was made aware by a reporter that his teammate and friend Quinn had been traded to the Eagles.
