A premier linebacker wants a new home.
Roquan Smith -- widely regarded inside the league as a top-five player at his position -- said in a statement that he is requesting a trade from the Chicago Bears after the front office "refused to negotiate in good faith" and "doesn't value" him.
That clicking you hear is the sound of Bears fans typing 'smh' into their phones. Coming off a six-win season and processing a clear rebuild under a new regime was hard enough.
Smith, 25, is a year away from free agency and wants a new deal now.
