Jerry Jones says not so fast:
Jerry Jones wants Robert Quinn to stay in Dallas
Robert Quinn is a free agent come March, but if the Dallas Cowboys have their way, he may not hit the market.
I’m told Jerry Jones has been aggressive in letting Quinn know that he wants the pass rusher to be playing in a Cowboys uniform next year. I’m also told Quinn’s preference is to remain in Dallas. If Dallas makes Quinn a competitive offer, don’t expect him to leave town next season.
This would be a huge deal for Dallas if they could keep Quinn.
As my friend OCC reminds us, this is a passing league and disrupting the quarterback is job one of a defense. Nobody did that better for Dallas in 2019 than Robert Quinn. His ultra-quick first step combined with his ability to bend is a fearsome combination.
It’s a tricky time for the Cowboys as they have a
ton of talent that needs to be signed. The idea of keeping Quinn seemed unlikely to most observers, but maybe the Cowboys are prioritizing Quinn higher than many thought. No one else on the Cowboys had more than 6.5 sacks, and those came from another free agent who only played part of the season in Dallas,
Michael Bennett.
The Cowboys will want a better effort out of their defensive line in 2020. They are bringing in coach
Jim Tomsula to get that done. Keeping Quinn in the fold would surely help.
