The Splash Zone 8/10/22: Should Dolphins Show Interest In Roquan Smith?

News came out yesterday that Roquan Smith was not happy with the Chicago Bears and requested a trade due to his contract situation. He will be playing this season on his fifth-year option and feels the Bears don’t value him as a player. On Twitter, plenty of Miami Dolphin fans stated the team should go after the linebacker, who would bring a ton of talent to an already good defense. Smith wants to get paid big though and the Bears would probably like a nice trade package to go with it. The Dolphins have already sent plenty of picks to the Kansas City Chiefs for Tyreek Hill and trying to fit Smith under the salary cap may be tricky.

You can check out that story here, and the rest of the day’s round-up below.
