BOURBONNAIS – Former Bears coach Dave Wannstedt attended Friday’s practice, and he offered some compelling opinions on the issues facing Matt Nagy’s first team, most notably the absence of first-round draft pick Roquan Smith.
“It really doesn’t make much sense,” said Wannstedt, who works as an analyst for Fox Sports and The Score (WSCR 670-AM). “The way everybody’s slotted now, for a rookie to hold out because of some of the fine print, it’s pretty selfish from an agent standpoint to do that. This kid needs to be here. He needs to be practicing. These are valuable days.
