Baltimore Ravens linebacker Roquan Smith says he was told he wasn't going to be traded by the Chicago Bears despite his request in the offseason.
Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett is tackled by Baltimore Ravens linebacker Roquan Smith in Pittsburgh, Sunday, Dec. 11, 2022. Picket left the game under concussion protocol.
"I thought Poles would ship me out, but he told me numerous times, ‘I don’t plan to trade you at all,’" Smith told The Athletic."So I was like, ‘I guess I won’t be going anywhere.’ He said we’d talk at the end of the season." Smith started for the Bears in each of their first nine games, picking up 2.5 sacks and 83 tackles. The Ravens came calling right after the Bears defeated the New England Patriots and wondered if Chicago would be willing to trade Smith and eat a few years of his contract.. Smith got a new opportunity to start for a historically great Ravens defense and has been thriving with the team ever since.
