Roquan Smith-Should The Lions Make A Run At Him If The Bears Let Him Test Free Agency


Just Want A Title

Recommended Posts

I read an article about whether or not the Bears will extend Roquan Smith.  He has been a consistently good and probably under-rated ILB since he he was drafted.  He is also very young (24 years old right now).  His stats:

Personally, other than financial constraints, the Bears should be doing everything they can to sign him to a long-term extension.  However, if they choose not to sign him to an extension, I think the Lions should do everything they can to bring him onto the roster.  A rotation with Phillip Barnes, Roquan Smith and Jalen Reeves-Maybin, we be a vastly improved ILB group.  It may be early in our re-build to consider a high-priced free agent but a young player who is arguably a Pro Bowl caliber LB could help turn things around a whole lot faster.  Should we make a run at him if he becomes available?  Thoughts?
