Smith, the eighth overall pick in April's draft, is an aggressive, hard-hitting linebacker. The NFL's new use-of-helmet rules allow for the use of replay to eject a player who leads with his helmet on a hit where he had an unobstructed path to the ball carrier and other options on the hit. It's unclear how frequent the ejections will be, but Smith is asking the Bears to set precedent by putting in writing that his guarantee holds through suspension or ejection due to the rule. At this point it's unclear if either side is willing to budge on the issue, so Smith's holdout will continue for the time being.
