Robert Quinn to visit Cowboys

Quinn Covington McDowell Hyder

Good luck blocking that. (Cowboys!)

 

[Risen Star]

They have next to no draft capital with only a 2, a 5, 2 6s and 2 7s and very little cap space.

It's like the Melsy. Next year's picks count too.

 

[JBell]

Wow. Really? No holes left?

None as gaping as RE.

 

[Alexander]

Sure, but I would think the Dolphins want some immediate payback plus next since they are losing the player now.

 

[Risen Star]

I would set the compensation bar at this year's 4th round comp pick.

It's not a secret what we have this year, so must be something they're interested in. Probably the 5th.

Another player has entered the game

 

[SportsGuru80]

We need RDE help and he would fit.

6.5MM for an edge rusher is cheap in today’s game. Guys like Jabaal Sheard got 8.5MM and he’s at best a similar type edge player.

Where is this $6.5 number coming from?

 

[glimmerman]

Wonder if it’s a addition or a substitute for D-Law. No more news coming out about contract talks..

 

[Manwiththeplan]

Now this would be a good move

Lawrence would play LE
Quinn would play RE

Could be a sweet thing. I wish they would sign him already. Let him get his shoulder surgery and move on. Wonder how far apart they are..

 

[SportsGuru80]

Quinn is only 28, I wouldn't mind getting him in.

I'm actually hoping they trade him. Lawrence has not negotiated in good faith. So I'd take a bleep him attitude and look to move him or force him to sit out a year of his prime.

Yup. Don't know how interested the Saints are but Salguero is a good source for the Dolphins.

 

[Verdict]

This visit is potentially in line with trading Tank. While it doesn't require a trade of Tank to occur, it would lessen the impact of a Tank trade.

Would you give up a 5th in return for Quinn at half salary, and let Tank go for a 1st round pick and change? Or maybe a 7th for Quinn at full salary? It buys a year for the draft pick to get up to speed.

You would save about $70m over 5 years making this sort of trade. It makes sense.

We still might sign Tank, but I'm telling you guys a trade is a lot more likely than most of you want to admit.

 

[Future]

Have to love our fans thinking the Dolphins are just going to give him away.

They aint taking your 7th round pick.

It's a salary dump for a tanking team. They aren't trading the player, they're trading the salary, or he's going to get cut anyways. $0 dead money if they move him.

A 7th is about all he's worth, give or take a round.
