Robert Quinn to visit Cowboys

[Alexander]

I don't know if it has been said before, but could it be possible this sudden interest in Quinn has to do with Crawford's situation?

 

[Verdict]

Why should he undergo surgery, which come with it's own risk (albeit a small one) without a guaranteed contract?

Do you really need an answer to this question? Seriously??

 

[Risen Star]

No, but the Cowboys giving him an insulting opening offer did not exactly scream honest negotiations either.

And you know this how?

What is insulting to Lawrence? Not paying him like he's the best DE in the league?

 

[Bullflop]

And the intrigue continues. Sounds like anything can happen but if you're Miami, good luck trying to extract much money from Stephen!

 

[Verdict]

You also don't have to worry about lowballing him. The amount Dallas would pay would be determined by the parameters of the trade. Right now, it would be $12 million for one year, which I can't see Dallas being willing to trade, but if Miami absorbs around $4 million of it, a one-year, $8 million deal is better than the Cowboys could get any other bona fide pass rusher for. The question then becomes how much compensation does Miami want.

It may enable Dallas to save a $100m contract on Tank and get picks in return for a bridge player. We may also get some salvage value out of him in terms of a comp pick later on.

MCollins, TCrawford, CCovington, AWoods, DRoss, Draft3 would have DT covered pretty tight

DLaw, Quinn, Taco, DArmstrong, TCrawford at DE would be nice

That's still not good enough at 3-tech IMO. This system purposely sets it up so that the 3-tech gets one-on-one matches that he has to dominate. The intention is to get that constant inside disruption that forces runs to bounce and keeps QBs from stepping up.

We might luck across that kind of player in the late second (or later), and we definitely have to try, but the odds aren't in our favor that we found it by picking up other teams' spare parts. If we did, that would be fantastic, of course,

We can mitigate it some by getting consistent penetration from the ends, but the 3-tech really is the key.

I hope not.

I think it’s more musical chairs with Marineli.

I put Quinn, Hyder, Armstrong, Taco and Lawrence at ends.

I now have Woods, Crawford, Collins, Covington and Ross at DT.

He’s set (though it’s not the most talented. It’s what he does)

I don't see trading for Quinn and trading away Lawrence as progress, if that's what you are suggesting. That would be stupid IMO.

 

[reddyuta]

probably none,Quinn is a RE and he will play mostly play on passing downs.

Dad, quit spending my inheritance!

 

[Risen Star]

It's funny the extremes some posters will go to in defense of a player they like.

Hey, I liked him. I drafted him that year in the Melsy but he's stepped over the line the last two years, IMO. I've done a complete 180 on him now after this surgery thing. I hope they move him. If not, I hope he stupidly wastes a year of his prime sitting out.

Saints have no cap space and limited picks as is.

If they want to send a 2nd for Quinn by all means, go ahead

 

[Clarkson]

99 99% scrubs

false. math is hard.

 

[Clarkson]

quinn is a really solid player. judging him based on sack numbers alone isn't very smart.

 

[hsfolk]

Saints have no cap space and limited picks as is.

If they want to send a 2nd for Quinn by all means, go ahead

they probably have enough cap space and it wouldn't take a very high draft pick to get Quinn

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.

I agree Risen. You could see it coming for two seasons. It is what it is but I agree, I would seriously listen to any and all offers on him. This is a really deep draft for DLs. Deepest I can remember in years, maybe ever. This is a great time to have a few extra high picks.

You could see it coming from two seasons how? Lawrence has done everything he was suppose to do. Him and his agent are negotiating. That's not fault of his.
