LAKE FOREST, Ill. – Chicago Bears linebacker Roquan Smith, who is among a small group of players not represented by an agent, is in line for a contract extension entering his fifth season in the NFL.
Whether the Bears and their standout linebacker will come to an agreement this offseason remains up in the air. New general manager Ryan Poles has made a handful of difficult decisions since taking over in January, including trading Khalil Mack to the Los Angeles Chargers and letting key defenders like Akiem Hicks hit free agency while also cutting ties with Danny Trevathan and Eddie Goldman.
