DE Robert Quinn Signs With The Bears

[MichaelWinicki]

Not really, considering our draft history on defense. Project what we have as of now. We can adjust as we bring in players. No one is saying we cant get better.

Let's see how the rest of FA and the draft pans outs.

Yes of course. Next thing you know we start bringing in washed up players to fill these holes. Hope for the best, we'll get a better feel after next month.

 

[gimmesix]

This.

Quinn was "cheap" depth last season.

And I do prefer if we're going to spend big on the defensive line that we go after a top DT. I think with the new rules concerning drugs that Gregory could actually be good enough at RDE.

 

[Whyjerry]

Definitely priced himself out of Stephen's pocketbook

Indeed. That’s a big number for a one dimensional guy.

 

[johneric8]

Jones and Quinn were low effort players? K

Don't even start with Dak.

No, Jones and Quinn "Weren't" low effort players but you can bet they will be after those big paydays.
And in terms of Dak, whether you want to hear it or not, he is one of the best young Qb's in the game and getting
better. And despite what some of the detractors say he has put this team on his shoulders when nothing else was
going well. I've seen him elevate the teams in the playoffs against the seahawks, almost throttle Arod in playoffs, but the
defense did what the defense do. There are so many games you can point to, but the problem with the Dak winers is that
they only remember the games where he wasn't enough to elevate the team. But, if you look at all great Qb's they can't always
elevate their teams, it's just that Dak is held to unrealistic standards. Dak will prove you wrong, ****, he already has..

 

[SlammedZero]

Like many on this forum, I wouldn't have minded retaining Quinn, but not at that $70 million. Just crazy.

 

[john van brocklin]

Yes, who needs pass rushers in Dallas anyway.........I hate this one

Was too one dimensional to rate that contract. IMHO

 

[Whyjerry]

Quinn was a good player here. Too old and too limited to pay that much though. Early numbers are real high. Dallas must address the DT and secondary positions. I hope they don’t rely on dumpster diving again. They need a ton of work on D.

 

[beware_d-ware]

That stings. I would have paid $30 million guaranteed for him.

 

[nyc-cowboy]

For that kind of money...thanks for last year and dont forget your long johns.

 

[Rayman70]

The Bears are desperate. They have everything but lack a QB. They will have spent all that money all to go 7-9. Without a QB in this league, you aint winning much. Trubes is a huge failure.

 

[Starforever]

Two best defensive players we had....Gone!

Who were they?

 

[MichaelWinicki]

And I do prefer if we're going to spend big on the defensive line that we go after a top DT. I think with the new rules concerning drugs that Gregory could actually be good enough at RDE.

Yep.

Consider Lawrence's best seasons were WITHOUT Robert Quinn at DE.

 

[Melonfeud]

Well $hit!
( Man , he'd definitely "outshined" the vaunted #90 , Hands Down)

 

[Starforever]

It's fun being the smart team making good decisions..

It's always at it's most fun around January when other teams are playing in the post season and we can look at all of our smart deal we made.

I guess when the team was in the playoffs, you said what?

Robert Quinn Hits Big PayDay With Chicago Bears

FRISCO, Texas – The exodus of Cowboys defenders continues on the second day of the legal tampering window.

One day after Byron Jones departed for Miami, Robert Quinn has agreed to terms with the Chicago Bears on a five-year, $70 million contract – with $30 million of it fully guaranteed.

It's a big pay day for Quinn after a renaissance season in Dallas. The Cowboys traded a sixth-round draft pick to Miami in exchange for the former All-Pro, and he responded with 11.5 sacks – his highest total since he posted 19 during the 2013 season.

Quinn was one of just a few bright spots on a Dallas defense that struggled with consistency last season. After missing the first two games due to suspension, he was the steadiest member of the Cowboys' pass rush, tallying 34 tackles, 13 tackles for loss and 22 quarterback hits to go along with his sack total.

Dang!!

 

[Doomsday101]

Well that sucks. Back to Lawrence being the only guy getting attention on the DL again. Will this ever end?

The start of FA and draft has not started, you in to drama I see.

 

[Kaiser]

This is why real life isn't Madden. I liked Quinn and Byron Jones but if someone offers them twice what they are worth, you move on. Instantly.

History says it's not in our favor. But I never said the draft and FA was over.
