The Latest Breaking News from Roquan Smith

All three had been in question, and it remains uncertain whether they’ll practice Wednesday.

While the Bears will be without one of their defensive stars in Roquan Smith to open training camp, Robert Quinn has officially reported.

The star linebacker reportedly hasn’t received an offer anywhere close to what he’s looking for.

It has long seemed a like a sure thing that the Bears would sign Smith to a contract extension, but it has bubbled into a significant concern.

Bears fans are not happy that Roquan Smith is reportedly holding out of training camp until he gets a new deal.

The Bears will be without their best player when they kick off training camp as LB Roquan Smith holds out due to his contract situation.

With the Bears in rebuild mode under new general manager Ryan Poles, it seems like they can only go up from here. But it’s the Bears — you just never know.

Players deserve to cash in on early success more than the NFL currently allows. But holding out to get more in that first contract is generally counter-productive — for the player and the team. With an opportunity to start as a rookie, there’s value in being there from Day 1.

The slog is starting. After rookies report to Halas Hall on Saturday and veterans on Tuesday, the Bears will begin training camp for a season that seems destined to leave them near the bottom of the standings and the top of the draft order.
