According to multiple reports, the Baltimore Ravens have traded for Chicago Bears inside linebacker Roquan Smith. Below, you’ll find the reactions of the staff here at Baltimore Beatdown.
This was a match many were expecting to be made months ago when Roquan Smith was upset with the Chicago Bears over contract negotiations. Smith meshes well in this defense and pairing him with Patrick Queen is a splendid match. Strictly football, this moves the needle. The Ravens have been hurting for talent at inside linebacker. Queen has flashes of inconsistent brilliance and though Bynes was admirable in 2021, he’s begun to slow up and struggle more.
