Robert Quinn Fantasy

Chicago Bears defensive end Robert Quinn earned his five-year deal on the free-agent market with an excellent season in 2019 with the Cowboys. Working opposite of DeMarcus Lawrence, Quinn pressured the quarterback on 14 percent of pass rushes, the third-highest rate in the NFL with a minimum of 250 pass rushes. He had 49 QB pressures last year, which is the same number that Bears pass-rusher Khalil Mack had, but Quinn accomplished it on 116 fewer pass rushes. If Quinn can maintain that level of play, the Bears Defense could be a nightmare for opposing quarterbacks. Before 2019, though, Quinn didn't have a double-digit sack season since 2014, so many IDP owners will be skeptical that he can produce those numbers again in a new environment. In his career, the 30-year-old has 80.5 sacks in nine seasons, including four seasons with double-digit QB takedowns.

The Chicago Bears are signing defensive end Robert Quinn to a five-year, $70 million contract on Tuesday, according to his agent, Sean Kiernan. The deal includes $30 million fully guaranteed. Quinn, 30 in May, returned to double-digit sacks in his only season in Dallas for the first time since 2014 with the St. Louis Rams. He finished with 11.5 sacks, 34 tackles (26 solo), 13 tackles for loss, 22 quarterback hits and two forced fumbles in his 14 starts in 2019. Joining Khalil Mack in Chicago could easily help Quinn stay productive as he enters his 30s. An already strong and elite Bears Defense just got better on Tuesday. In a corresponding move, the team released linebacker Leonard Floyd. His entire $13.2 million salary will come off the books in 2020 with no dead money.

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said that defensive end Robert Quinn is "the real deal" and is "hopeful that we can do something to keep him." Quinn's contract is set to expire on March 18. The 29-year-old had 11.5 sacks in his first year in Dallas, but there's a good chance he'll reach the open market. He was a Pro Bowler in 2013-14 and was a first-team All-Pro for the Rams in 2013 when he recorded a career-high 19 sacks. The Cowboys have other pressing business in trying to re-sign both quarterback Dak Prescott and wide receiver Amari Cooper to long-term extensions.
