Bears GM Ryan Poles mentions that he would like to get it done in the next few months but he's unsure if this is possible.
Ever since he was drafted with the 8th pick in 2018, he has been an incredible player for the Bears' defense. His value is, obviously, very high at the moment.
It seems like the most effective way to handle toses situations in the NFL lately has been to extend said player a year before his contract expires. I think GM Ryan Poles should probably choose that way. This would ensure the franchise of having a top 5 linebacker for multiple years in the future. In order words, PAY THE MAN!
When asked about his future in Chicago, Smith was very reassuring to Bears Nation:
When he was asked if he sees himself as a Bear long-term wise, Roquan immediately said: "Absolutely".
