As always, posting quotes by players, coaches, team/NFL personnel, media people, etc. must also include a source link, video, OFFICIAL tweet (not some random person saying it), etc. in the post.
The reason this rule has always been in place is because sometimes users misquote what was said or state it out context which makes the person being quoted appear to be saying something completely different than what they actually said or meant.
We have also had a problem with some users posting fake rumors started or promoted by social media wannabe's who are desperate for followers, views, etc.
Providing official or established sources (not random bloggers, tweeters, etc.) helps let everyone know that what is being quoted is indeed what was actually said.
