This part proves Quinn was intent to leave the Cowboys for more money elsewhere...

"What we do know now, however, is that Robert Quinn couldn’t fully make up his mind either. According to Patrick Finley of The Sun Times, Quinn told Chicago media he “flipped a coin” when deciding whether to join the Bears or Atlanta Falcons."

We shouldn't care for 1 year mercenaries. Good luck and good riddance.

If we can trade a 6th rounder for one year of that production then let a guy walk and get a high comp pick, do that every time.

April 5, 2020 - Robert Quinn was one of the Cowboys' most high profile free agents this Spring. No, he wasn't Dak Prescott or Amari Cooper star level, but he was the

Of course.

He said: "flip more coins on your side and i chose you."

Let's see Matt Ryan or Foles/Trubisky...

Coin flip seems about right!

Well, he’d be playing opposite Khalil Mack, which will be better for him personally. Not to mention, if Chicago lucked into a better QB, they’re likely going to be much better than Atlanta

With everything being equal, I'd have to go to Atlanta over Chicago, not flip a coin. Just in terms of the weather alone. However, all things aren't equal. Quinn will be an addition to the current monsters of the midway. That D is going to be pretty nasty in 2020. At least on paper.

Until I see the dollar value of the contract the Falcons actually offered, I am skeptical on the coin toss story. How much of a difference was there between guaranteed money and length of terms. And how many times did he flip the coin until he got the answer he wanted?

Sounds like he’s really in love with football.

Nothing about this is surprising, he was ‘contract hunting’ the whole season and was terrible against the run and screens b/c he would take huge 12 yard stupid looping “moves” to try to get to the QB every play. He played ~650 snaps and had ~11 sacks, other than that this guy was completely and utterly useless & hung the rest of this defense out to dry.
I do believe this take is more accurate than the one suggesting he was an all-world must sign who outplayed DLaw.

He most definitely did not offer any balance at RDE. He was a good pass rusher who was plainly awful versus the run.

Funny, when a player resorts to flippin a coin to make a decision it always comes up chi-ching! And they never exercise the option to defer:laugh:
Well, Atlanta was offering $5 million less (made-up number), but I let the coin decide. It said "heads" so the coin has spoken and Chicago here we come. :thumbup:
