BALTIMORE — Ravens linebacker Roquan Smith is long past feeling petty about Bears general manager Ryan Poles trading him three years ago. And why wouldn’t he be, especially after getting everything he wanted with a $100 million contract extension and the chance to play for a perennial contender?
Smith also picked up his first win over his old team as the Ravens rolled the Bears 30-16 at M&T Bank Stadium on Sunday. Revenge wasn’t a factor, Smith said. His main motivation was keeping the Ravens’ playoff hopes alive after a 1-5 start.
“We knew the position we were in,” he told the Sun-Times.
