The newest Robert Quinn Trade idea Sounds very Enticing for the Bears
Alex Kay of the Bleacher Report wrote an article on 7 trades that should happen before the 2022 NFL season. The one trade that could affect us Bears fans a lot on this list is a Robert Quinn's trade.
Here it is:
Los Angeles Rams receive: Edge Robert Quinn
Chicago Bears receive: Los Angeles' 2023 second-round draft pick
Despite hiring a new head coach and general manager this offseason, the Chicago Bears could still be rebuilding for a few more years.
The team should be cognizant of this and willing to trade away veterans to acquire more draft capital ahead of the 2022 season. One player that could net the Bears a hefty return is Robert Quinn, the soon-to-be 32-year-old edge-rusher coming off a Pro Bowl campaign.
Quinn was one of the few bright spots for a Chicago squad that went just 6-11 to begin the Justin Fields era. He recorded the second-most sacks in the league with a whopping 18.5, along with 49 tackles�17 of which were for a loss�22 quarterback hits and four forced fumbles.
It was a resurgent campaign for the 11-year veteran who had just two sacks in 15 games last season. Quinn is on a reasonable contract as well, earning a shade under $13 million this season while having a total of just $39.6 million owed over the next three years in total.
Because of this production and cost, contending teams should be willing to dish out an early pick or two for Quinn's services.
The Los Angeles Rams would be a great landing spot, bolstering their already elite defense by bringing this dangerous pass-rusher aboard.
The squad needs another player to attack the quarterback after losing Von Miller in free agency. Plus, Quinn should have a level of comfortability returning to the franchise that drafted him in 2011.
GM Les Snead has shown he clearly isn't reticent to cash in draft picks for veterans, and the strategy paid off in a big way last year. The team finally broke through and won a Super Bowl for the first time in over two decades and has a great shot at defending that title in 2022.
Adding Quinn into the fold would only further L.A.'s chances of successfully doing so, making him an ideal target for the Rams to go after while bolstering Chicago's chances of contending down the line with a Day 2 pick.
