Quinn, 32, skipped the team's mandatory veteran minicamp, which took place from June 14-16, and NFL insider Aaron Wilson of Pro Football Network reported on June 14 that Quinn wants out of Chicago.
The 32-year-old pass-rusher set Chicago's single-season record for sacks with 18.5 in 2021. However, new GM Ryan Poles is signalling a kind of rebuild as the team is trying to fix the salary cap situation for the long-term future.
After trading Khalil Mack to the San Diego Chargers for two draft picks � a 2022 second-rounder and a 2023 sixth-rounder � it looks like Quinn, with three years remaining on his contract and a base salary of $12.8 million this season, could be next. The move would give the Bears the second-highest salary cap space in the NFL next season.
ODDS ON ROBERT QUINN'S NEXT TEAM
Cowboys: +250 (bet $10 to win $35 total)
Packers: +300 (bet $10 to win $40 total)
Colts: +400 (bet $10 to win $50 total)
Dolphins: +500 (bet $10 to win $60 total)
Browns:+700 (bet $10 to win $80 total)
Chiefs: +700 (bet $10 to win $80 total)
I am so surprised to see the Packers inside the top two. While rumors of a potential Quinn trade flew into hyperdrive after the veteran pass rusher chose not to show up for mandatory veteran minicamp, the idea new Bears GM Ryan Poles would send the team's 2021 best player to the perennial enemy seems about as far-fetched as it gets.
