DE Robert Quinn Signs With The Bears

[ultron]

I’ve been advocating for him to stay here for $15/hour but I’m glad he’s gone! I posted this earlier:

Quinn is terrible against the run, screen passes & above average LT’s. Don’t be fooled by the anomaly of sacks that he had last year - he gives up way too many big plays for those sacks to even matter. He’s the Patrick Beverley of the NFL - everyone is fooled and thinks this guy can play defense. He’s complete trash.

 

[CATCH17]

meme all you want, but the fact that Dallas is going to flip Cobb and Quinn into future draft compensation is good on them

Quinn loss is big.. That guy lived in the QB's lap.

I can't believe we lost Quinn and Jones.

Good thing we have a QB that can overcome things like this.

 

[bayeslife]

LOL.

Can't wait for you guys' reactions when we are awful at putting pressure on opposing QBs.

This front office has a DL problem now. A big DL problem.

shoot we were so good last year too

remember that time the pass rush completely corralled Mitch trubisky and we went on to beat the bears?? Good times

 

[Gaede]

Solid plan this offseason guys.

Do nothing and weaken the defense

 

[JohnsKey19]

It's okay. We have Armstrong and Trystian Hill ready to step up.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

And here's a solution!



Leonard Floyd was released by the Bears. Therefore, signing him would not detract from our compensation pick count. Thus, we could probably get a good deal on him and still get the pick for Quinn.

 

[MichaelWinicki]

Likely gonna look like 2 years at 30 mill ... still way more than I'd pay for a nickel DE

No... That's a ridiculous contract for a 1-dimensional player.

 

[kevinhickey]

Wow, playing for the Cowboys last year was good to Cobb and Quinn!

More compensatory picks next year.

 

[BlueNSilver88]

a lot of money, not surprised he's gone.

 

[CowboyRoy]

Great!

 

[MichaelWinicki]

People pay for sacks. They don’t care he stinks against the run

And he does stink vs. the run.

He's dreadful.

 

[Alexander]

Well, looks like Randy Gregory time!

 

[mathew1184]

I'm more gutted about this than Jones. Really wanted to keep Quinn.

I agree, I expected Byron to go, but this one stings. Quinn was great for us last year.

 

[RS12]

The good news is Jerry managed to hang on to all the top jersey sellers.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Yup, so this could solve the problem.

 

[Future]

That’s a pretty insane deal, but I feel like they could’ve been competitive on the gtd dollars front

I don't think it's insane at all. $14m AAV is a bit high, but not unreasonable.

Depending on how it's structured, this might basically be a 3-year, $30m deal.

 

[MichaelWinicki]

Gotta replace him...if not signing DLaw was pointless. Having 1 pass rusher = having 0 pass rushers

If I'm not mistake DLaw had better years without Quinn on the roster.

 

[Risen Star]

Don't make me stop by Rockport Pharmacy for your medication.

 

[MWH1967]

OUCH..can we please stop the bleeding. We are down Jones , Cobb and Quinn now and Dallas was 8@8 with them. Just to replace them will be a small task with this FO. Sheesh!!

 

[Hawkeye0202]

Here's a guy I'd strongly consider .......for the right price. Yes, he's a FA......



DANTE FOWLERDL, LOS ANGELES RAMS

Rams acquired DE Dante Fowler from the Jaguars in exchange for a 2019 third-round pick and 2020 fifth-round pick.
The Jets and Packers were also reportedly interest, which explains the steep price. The odd man out of the Jags' defensive end rotation, Fowler will provide instant help for Wade Phillips' defense in Los Angeles. The No. 3 overall pick of the 2015 draft has made just one career start, but that could quickly change. Fowler registered two sacks on 165 snaps in Jacksonville this season. It's a nice addition for L.A., but there is no guarantee it's a truly impact one. Fowler will be a free agent at season's end.
