Robert Quinn Fantasy

The Athletic's Kevin Fishbain didn't include Chicago Bears defensive end Robert Quinn on his 53-man roster projection after he chose to skip mandatory minicamp. Quinn missing minicamp allows for speculation that he might not want to be a veteran on a rebuilding team. If Chicago moves on from him, they might want to add another edge rusher to compete on their defensive line. The 32-year-old pass-rusher made his third Pro Bowl in 2021 while recording a career-high 18.5 sacks, so even though he's on the wrong side of 30, teams would likely be interested in acquiring him if the Bears show that they are serious about trading him.

Chicago Bears star pass-rusher Robert Quinn is not expected to attend the team's mandatory minicamp that begins on Tuesday, according to sources. Quinn will stay away from the team while he trains on his own. He made his third Pro Bowl last year with 18.5 sacks, 49 tackles (38 solo), 17 tackles for loss, 22 QB hits and four forced fumbles in 16 starts. The former Defensive Player of the Year now has 101 career sacks in 11 NFL seasons and has recorded five double-digit sack performances. The sacks are nice, but Quinn had only two sacks in 2020, and he's never had more than 57 combined tackles in a single season, making him hard to rely on in IDP leagues at the linebacker position.

Contrary to a prior report, a source confirmed that the Chicago Bears are not looking to deal veteran pass-rusher Robert Quinn. The soon-to-be 32-year-old expressed some uncertainty in his status in an interview, but the team does not appear to be actively shopping him at this time. While this contradicts a previous report, that does not necessarily mean the team is not listening to potential offers. The Bears have several holes to fill, particularly on the offensive side of the ball, and Quinn could bring a lot of value in a trade, either for established starters or for draft capital. He had an outstanding season last year, notching 18.5 sacks, second only to Pittsburgh defensive end T.J. Watt. The Bears finished 2021 sixth in total defense but 24th in total offense.
