SportsTalk Live Podcast: How much pressure is on Roquan Smith now that he is finally in the fold?

You knew it was going to get done. They always do. And Roquan Smith was going to be in a Bears uniform later rather than sooner because of contract issues. And now he reportedly is.

Smith now resumes the process of NFL orientation and acclimation that began with his rookie minicamp and continued through OTA’s and other workouts. Those are a long way from game speed, but the Georgia rookie linebacker is considered a long way from typical, so best guess is that he will arrive in Denver with his teammates at least in pretty good conditioning shape and actually a little healthier than quite of few of them, owing to having the good fortune of not playing two preseason games.
