Chicago Bears Rumors: Robert Quinn is on the trade block

The Chicago Bears are 2-4 after a tough loss to the Washington Commanders last Thursday night. Now, they have a big Monday Night Football date with the New England Patriots this week which may go exactly how you’d expect. It is not going to be an easy game at all.

2022 was never going to be a season in which the Bears make it to the playoffs or even come close. There simply isn’t enough talent on this roster right now to get anything big done. They work hard and are disciplined which is nice but that won’t truly help until they have better players.

As a result of this, you might see some tradable assets go out the door as they build toward the future. It is important to take advantage of the trade market as much as you can. When people who aren’t a part of the future can help another team win, you add draft picks for them.

That might be the case for Robert Quinn. Quinn seemed to be a disaster of a signing in 2020 when he had a terrible season but he had an all-time great Bears season in 2021. Teams acquiring him in a trade can probably expect something more in the middle for the Super Bowl run.

The Chicago Bears appear to be shopping Robert Quinn ahead of the deadline.

It sounds now like he is officially on the block. Jason La Canfora of The Washington Post confirmed this is a recent article that went up. It is very believable as he was seen as one of the most tradable Bears coming into the season. Now that they are 2-4, it is clearly the right move.

The Bears have already lost some really good pass rushers, Khalil Mack and Akiem Hicks. Losing Quinn would hurt the present-day pass rush but the assets that they get for him can help the team more in the long run. This is a rebuilding team after all.

A lot of teams might be interested in Quinn via a trade. You’d think that one of the elite teams in the league would want to pull the trigger. The Kansas City Chiefs, Buffalo Bills, Philadelphia Eagles, and Minnesota Vikings all come to mind right off the bat. There are plenty of other teams as well.
