Free-agent defensive end Robert Quinn was arrested on Friday in Summerville, South Carolina. According to police, the 33-year-old allegedly drove his pickup truck into four vehicles before smacking a woman in the face. He was eventually caught after attempting to flee the area and charged with multiple crimes, including assault and battery. Quinn has had an impressive career, totaling 369 tackles and 102 sacks in 169 games with the Rams, Dolphins, Cowboys, Bears, and Eagles. He's also an All-Pro and three-time Pro Bowler. But now the veteran will need to focus on avoiding time behind bars, and it's unlikely any team will sign him while he has this hanging over his head.
Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Robert Quinn (knee) is undergoing a knee scope this week and will go on Injured Reserve on Tuesday, according to sources. It's bad timing, as Quinn had been settling into the Eagles' defensive scheme before his knee got twisted in practice last week. He'll miss at least the next four games, but there's optimism he'll return for a playoff push. The 32-year-old joined Philadelphia at the end of October after starting the year with the Chicago Bears, and he had only two solo tackles and two QB hits in his first five games for the Eagles while playing no more than 27 percent of the defensive snaps. With Quinn out, Ndamukong Suh, Linval Joseph and Milton Williams should see more rotational snaps along the defensive line.
Philadelphia Eagles pass-rusher Robert Quinn (knee) is officially inactive for Sunday's game against the Tennessee Titans. The 32-year-old racked up 10 tackles and one sack over the first 12 games and will now miss his first contest of the year. Ndamukong Suh and Linval Joseph should provide reinforcements on the defensive line in his absence.
The Philadelphia Eagles acquired defensive end Robert Quinn from the Chicago Bears on Wednesday in exchange for a fourth-round pick in 2023, according to a source. Quinn had only one sack in seven games for the Bears this year, but the 32-year-old put up 18.5 sacks in 2021 and will bring plenty of pass-rushing experience to an already strong Eagles defense. Quinn will help replace Derek Barnett (knee), who suffered a season-ending knee injury in the season opener. The Bears are paying $7.1 million of Quinn's remaining base salary this year as part of the deal. Despite acquiring Quinn, C.J. Gardner-Johnson, A.J. Brown and Jordan Davis within the last year, the Eagles still have six picks in next year's draft, including two in the first round.
Chicago Bears defensive end Robert Quinn is a trade candidate for several teams, according to sources. The biggest hurdle is Quinn's $18.2 million salary cap hit for 2023 and where general manager Ryan Poles stands on it. But Quinn has been a great player for Chicago and had 18.5 sacks last year. The 32-year-old made the Pro Bowl for the third time in his career in 2021 and has eight tackles (six solo), three QB hits and a sack so far in his seven games for the Bears in 2022. Quinn certainly isn't on pace to come even close to his total of 18.5 sacks from a season ago, but he's still been productive and could be a nice piece for a contending team in need of more pass rush.
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.
Chicago Bears defensive end Robert Quinn could possibly be traded before the beginning of training camp. Ian Rapoport reports that teams are checking in and kicking the tires on Quinn. The 31-year-old recorded 18.5 sacks and 49 tackles through 17 games with the Bears last season. The Bears traded Khalil Mack earlier in the offseason, so trading Quinn doesn't seem impossible. The three-time Pro Bowl pass rusher expects to remain in Chicago next season. However, it wouldn't be shocking to see the Bears move Quinn for future pieces.
Chicago Bears defensive end Robert Quinn (ankle) is expected to make his debut on Sunday against the New York Giants. Quinn arrived in Chicago this offseason as a big-time free agent to bookend Khalil Mack on Chicago's defensive line, though the ankle kept him from playing Week 1. If the 30-year-old plays, he and Mack could make life very difficult for Giants quarterback Daniel Jones and his offensive line. The Bears Defense is certainly in play as a fantasy option for Week 2.
