3 teams that should trade for Chicago Bears DE Robert Quinn
By Ryan Heckman
As Chicago Bears mandatory minicamp is underway, Matt Eberflus has noted that one player’s absence has gone unexcused.
Star pass rusher Robert Quinn is no where to be found during minicamp and continues to work out on his own at the moment. While there has been no official word that Quinn is truly demanding a trade out of Chicago, many believe that a trade could be coming.
Quinn, who is in the middle of a 5-year, $70 million contract with the Bears, saw his name passed around rumors earlier in the offseason after the team traded Khalil Mack. There were reports that Quinn may want out of Chicago, most notably by CBS Sports columnist Jason La Canfora.
Nothing ever manifested from those rumors, at least not yet, but now it appears as though things could be heating up on the trade front.
If Chicago Bears pass rusher Robert Quinn is traded, there are plenty of teams who could line up for his services.
This past offseason, we saw the likes of some big name pass rushers change jerseys. Of course, Mack went to the Los Angeles Chargers in exchange for a second and a sixth rounder. We also saw Von Miller and Chandler Jones switch teams in free agency, with both also heading over to the AFC.
With the AFC being loaded with talent now, especially at the pass rusher position, there may be pressure on some other AFC hopefuls to go out and get a guy like Quinn.
There are three specific teams where Quinn makes a ton of sense, and two of them happen to play in the AFC. Meanwhile, one particular NFC team should pursue him — and it would be a familiar place for Quinn. Let’s dive into the three teams that make sense for a Quinn trade.
