ESPN Staff Writer, Jeremy Fowler made a list of some of the players we should expect to see get a contract extension this summer.

One of the few players he listed was Bears' LB Roquan Smith.

Here is what he said about him:

"Expect talks between the Bears and Smith to heat up some time this summer. Even other Bears players close to free agency believe Smith is the priority for Chicago and new GM Ryan Poles. Smith has worked his way into top-10 linebacker status thanks to versatility and production. He has compiled 14 sacks, 17 pass deflections and five interceptions on his way to back-to-back second-team All-Pro nods.


With the top of the linebacker market approaching $20 million annually, Smith should push that number. He doesn't have an agent and will essentially negotiate on his own behalf, but he showed up to offseason workouts as a sign of good faith."

That sounds good!
