Looks like there are 7 top 10 picks unsigned so I would say nothing to worry about.

He'll probably hold out pre-season he's a post Madonna ... He was born after Madonna.

Sounds like maybe there is something to worry about in this "slotted" process.

I think most of the time the deterrent for teams trading up is to get up in the slot position in terms of dollars. I actually believe these 7 men believe they should have been picked higher, so if it played out differently they would be making more money.

It's all about the offset language

Florio thinks it's more about the structure of the contract than it is about the offset language:

The picks right before & after Roquan now signed. Get it done:


Yep - no reason Smith should not be signed and at camp tomorrow.

Sure there is, his agents and him can be unrealistic and greedy. Same thing goes for the Bears. We're not privy to the back and forth so who knows what the hold up is.

Completely agree, if Smith is not in camp tomorrow, now that the picks before and after him are done, then I worry something bigger than the Bears are letting on is afoot. That said, I won't really begin to worry until after the Hall of Fame game. If he is still not in camp by then, I will start to freak out a bit more.

What bothers me is his agent is the same as Bosa. I don't really think they give a fuck whether the guy before and after him have signed.

The same agency represents Baker, and allen who have now signed. Granted they represent Darnold and ward who also havent signed.

But with Allen and McGlinchey now signed it should be set and Chubb who went 5th is signed.

Second source confirms this morning that Roquan deal expected in the coming days. Main reasons team not concerned? He’s already mastered the D & is in constant communication with D coaches.

Sam Acho's interview on the waddle and silvy show was pretty telling. Acho gives pretty honest interviews and he truly did not seem concerned and was saying how Roquan already knows the playbook and in OTAs already figured it out and was flying all over the place.
