That’s 2 team captains in as many weeks.
I hope Ryan Poles knows what he’s doing, sure doesn’t feel like it.
I Hope nothing but the best for Roquan Smith unless he is playing #DaBears

Imagine how he’ll look next to Roquan Smith.#RavensFlock
The Mack and Quinn trades made sense, given their age. But at 25, #Roquan Smith is the type of player the #Bears should build their defense around. #RyanPoles is a narcissist — only wants players he acquired. Watch out #JustinFields. #DaBears @ChicagoBears

A 2nd and a 5th for roquan smith? Why even draft players when you can trade for them
