The Chicago Bears are trading LB Roquan Smith to the Balitimore Ravens.
The Ravens are sending second- and fifth-round picks for LB Roquan Smith, according to ESPN.com’s Adam Schefter (on Twitter). Both picks are in 2023, Schefter tweets. This represents a nice haul for a linebacker that would have been difficult for the Bears to cuff via the franchise tag. Because on- and off-ball linebackers are grouped together under the tag formula, Smith would require and edge rusher-level tag sum. The team will move on, and it has now added second-, fourth-, fifth- and sixth-round picks in deals involving Smith, Quinn and Khalil Mack this year.
