Trade him to the Raiders for K.Mack and throw something else in the deal.

Agent grand standing. Probably will also force his players to take sides on anthem “brand”, ” positioning them, to enrich his position. Putrid cock sucker.

This is good news IMO.
Negotiations 101- ask for more than you want then meet in the middle.

Bears FO “ we void guarantees at will, even if he is a poor tipper”
Smiths agent “ 100% guarantee , even if he kills your momma”
Bears FO “ ok, no helmet suspensions apply”
Smiths agent— next move

If the Bears have given on the on field suspensions then I expect a deal and Smith in camp this weekend.

How about they just do the right thing?

So your definition of “do the right thing” would be to waive their right to void his contract or some of his guaranteed money if he violates the personal conduct clause in his contract? That would be incredibly stupid.

CAA is using this kid.

As a Lions fan, he doesn't really care.

But budging on other language — including when it involves behavior — is another issue. It’s why league sources have said the many around the NFL are closely monitoring what happens with the Bears and Smith. It’s a fight worth watching because a new precedent might be set.

One league source suggested that CAA wanted to reach this point – an impasse that generates negative headlines for the Bears. A source close to the Bears’ front office said there has been a lot of “posturing.”

“CAA is just using it’s big stick,” one longtime agent said.

There was some NFL guy who said basically all of that a week ago. I don't remember who it was but I hope they are enjoying their #CalledIt.

Nah, the right thing is bend him over the barrel and **ck him up the ass, because, well, that is the way the league has been doing it for years, so it's all good. CBA took away the rookies right to negotiate a market value contract, but that wasn't enough, they then had to install language to try and screw them out of their guaranteed money, even if it was only 1/4 of what they had been making previously. Do you really think Smith wants language in the contract that allows him to kill/rape/abuse someone without repercussions to his paycheck, and that is what is holding this up? My god, are you that clueless?

There is nothing wrong with demanding clarification on what is deemed a suspendable offense under the so called "personal conduct policy". It's already came to light that the Bears begrudgingly removed language (or added) that removed helmet violations under the new rule, are you that naive to think the rest of the language is black and white?

Why believe any of the rumours floating around? Tomorrow there will be another one, and it may contradict this one. At the end of this soap opera, the facts will come out. Until then, no need to get flumoxed by every new rumour.

Yeah I would like to see Edmunds vs Smith's contract. Same agent. If they got the Bills to agree and then Smith who was drafted higher shouldn't accept a deal that is worse.

The same specific agent also represents Josh Allen, picked ahead of Roquan Smith. I don’t think they have any outside discipline exemptions in that contract.

CAA also represents Darnold (#3), Ward (#4), Nelson (#6), and Davenport (#14).

So did all the teams that drafted players represented by CAA give their players a "get paid no matter what you do" clause, or are the Bears the only team getting this treatment.

I can't imagine any NFL team would continue paying a player doing time for murder.

Can you honestly tell us why you are here? Not going to hold my breath.

Never mind.......you have been banned from every Detoilet site out there and you have no friends. So you pretend you like the Bears hoping that someone might like you even though you could give a shit about the Bears.

The clueless calling out someone else as clueless...classic.

And half the board will refuse to believe them.....
