Ravens linebacker Roquan Smith makes a tackle Saturday against the Browns.

Roquan Smith finally got his Pro Bowl nod.

All it took, apparently, was for the Bears to trade him.

The Ravens middle linebacker was named to the Pro Bowl Games — a flag football format replacing the traditional game — on Wednesday night. No Bears, though, were among the 88 players voted on by an equal vote of fans, coaches and players.

The last time the Bears were shut out of the league’s annual all-star honors was following the 2017 season.
