Roquan Smith Holdout Is the Last Thing the Chicago Bears Need Right Now

The Chicago Bears are gearing up for what could be a trying NFL season. The team has a new general manager and a new head coach and will be installing a new system for second-year quarterback Justin Fields to run after a rough rookie campaign.

The defense already parted ways with a superstar in Khalil Mack earlier in the offseason, could be forced to trade another Pro Bowler because of Robert Quinn's unhappiness and is now dealing with a holdout from its top linebacker after NFL insider Ian Rapoport reported that Roquan Smith will not be participating in training camp until his contract situation is sorted.
