According to a report from Pro Football Talk, the Chicago Bears and Roquan Smith did actually come to a compromise in their contract standoff that saw Smith miss all of this year’s training camp. Smith did get some monetary protection of guaranteed money against most incidents that could take place on a football field and while in uniform. There are also protections against things that could happen while he’s playing.
Here’s the gist, and when Smith could have his guarantees voided.
If Smith is suspended for three games or more for things that happen during a play such as an illegal hit or unnecessary roughness, the Bears could void future guaranteed money from his rookie contract.
