Robert Quinn being finalized

2020 6th?
DAMN WHAT A STEAL

These are the trades the Patriots make everyone else envious, BUT WE MADE IT

Yes! BRILLIANT job Jerry! Oh, that's an excellent move! Well done to our FO. Especially if we got Miami to take most of the tab.

6th round pick? Can't hate that.

If your a Dolphins fan you have to hate it. You gave up a 4th last year, you get back a 6th next year.

Is Miami still paying a portion of his 2019?

Based on the pick and reports, no. Cowboys have been working directly with Quinn on a re-worked contract.

Is Miami still paying a portion of his 2019?

Haven't heard yet. Maybe not much if all we're giving up is a 6th.

There must be conditions that can upgrade the pick I would think.

 

[CATCH17]

Exactly. The contract would be mostly paid by the Dolphins, by my understanding, but we'd get the comp pick for not resigning him. It's a good move to do it this way. Really, a no brainer imo. We're essentially trading a pick for Quinn and a future pick.

Best part is he is in a contract year and he gets to perform on the NFLs biggest stage so that benefits Quinn and the Cowboys.

My brother is a Dolphins fan.

I'd call him but he's blocked my number.

With Robert Quinn evidently coming into the Dallas fold, it seems some interesting events are on the horizon. Either the Cowboys are planning on moving on from Lawrence, or they're intent upon giving him enough rope to hang himself. The coming weeks should be interesting, in any case.

Quite right indeed. So, he's going to want to prove that he's as good as he thinks he is. He's doing it with us on a team that I think should be able to go to the Super Bowl if we can improve our DT and S through the draft. Then, we could be turning the 6th round pick into a possibly 3 or 4 round comp pick.

He might get another year added.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

He might get another year added.

If we have it as a team option and decide to not add the extra year, would we still get the comp pick for him if another team signs him?

I think so

 

[Risen Star]

The Cowboys deal for Robert Quinn should not be viewed as anything to do with replacing DeMarcus Lawrence. The idea is to find a quality pass rusher opposite Lawrence, especially with Randy Gregory indefinitely suspended and Taco Charlton coming back from shoulder surgery. Quinn had 6.5 sacks last season with Miami and has 24 over the last four seasons. The one-year deal Quinn is expected to sign falls in line with the other free-agent signings the Cowboys have had this offseason: fill a need now, so they can draft with the best-player-available philosophy.

I think so

If so, then that's certainly another valuable bit to this. Our FO could really have a bit of fun with this.

Ziggy Ansah is the name to watch as far as D-Law. Not Quinn

 

[beware_d-ware]

Dude is well worth a one year rental, especially if we can fit him in before our class of 2016 contracts all blow up.

 

[dwreck27]

Wow what a great move to minimize the Gregory loss

And like others have said If he produces and we can’t resign him we nab a nice comp pick

 

[gimmesix]

If we don't sign Tank...it probably is Crawford at LDE

I'd say that would be likely. We'd probably initially give Charlton a shot at it and pair Crawford with Quinn on the right side. Crawford is not really a good enough pass rusher at end to be out there on passing downs at that position.

 

[Risen Star]

Ya know, this thinking that a team must fill all the holes in free agency so they can draft pure is idiotic nonsense from people who don't know anything about the draft. Like if you don't accomplish that in free agency that forces you to follow a poor draft strategy and force needs with your picks. You have to do it. Unless you can sign those free agents.

There's only one correct way to approach a draft and the current state of your roster is completely and totally irrelevant to that equation.
