NFL Network's Ian Rapoport is reporting that the Bears and first-round draft pick Roquan Smith have agreed to terms on his rookie contract. (Ian Rapoport on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact:

He was the last first-round pick without a deal, and after watching the Bears defense struggle mightily in last week's preseason game, it comes as no shock to see them agree to terms shortly afterwards. Smith was reportedly concerned about his salary becoming non-guaranteed should he get suspended due to the league's new rule on lowering the head. We don't have the official language of his contract, but the Bears get a game-changer on the defense. Despite missing much of training camp, Smith is still likely to start alongside Danny Trevathan come Week 1.
