Contract:
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Bears will also foot $4.833 million of Smith’s $5.408 million salary. Smith’s contract was scheduled to expire after the 2022 season, and there was a lot of ambiguity around his future.
Wiki:
Smith played football for the Bulldogs at Macon County High School in Montezuma, Georgia. He had previously committed to play collegiate football for the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), but he switched to the University of Georgia.
Smith participated in collegiate football at the University of Georgia while being coached by Mark Richt and Kirby Smart. In 2015, Smith participated in 12 games while a true freshman at Georgia and made 20 tackles. He made 95 tackles as a sophomore in 2016 while starting 10 of the 13 contests.
Smith was selected as the Associated Press’s SEC Defensive Player of the Year and MVP of the SEC Championship Game in 2017. As the first Georgia Bulldog to get the Butkus Award, he also made history.
Chargers:
Smith, a two-time member of the second team All-Pro, adds depth to the Ravens’ second level. In 69 games with the Bears, the former No. 8 overall pick in 2018 produced 607 tackles and seven interceptions.
To strengthen a defence that is currently ranked 28th in yards allowed and 20th in points allowed, the Ravens install the tackling machine.
Smith was a potential trade possibility this season after he put in a request for a trade in August and resisted during training camp out of frustration over the Bears’ failure to make an appropriate long-term contract offer. Smith guaranteed his employment wouldn’t be impacted by his contract predicament. Not at all. The 25-year-old has 83 tackles, 2.5 sacks, four tackles for loss, and two interceptions after eight games, leading the NFL.
