Daily News | Thumbs up or down: Eagles beat writers weigh in on Robert Quinn trade
While it comes with little surprise that Howie Roseman made a move before the trade deadline, very rarely is the player uniformly near the top of possible acquisition lists. But that became the case when theon Wednesday. The team had a need for edge rushing depth, Roseman always prioritizes the pass rush, and Quinn, considering his age and Chicago’s struggles, fit the profile.
Quinn was available for several reasons outside his age. He signed a 5-year, $70 million contract extension with $30 million guaranteed just two offseasons ago, and trading him gives the Bears some cap flexibility. The Eagles, though, won’t be on the hook for most of his remaining salary beyond this season, according to reports.
Quinn’s been a hot-cold player in terms of production in his latter years. But he could benefit from the change of scenery, playing for a team with championship aspirations and not having to play as many snaps. Will he be fine playing behind Haason Reddick, Josh Sweat and likely Brandon Graham in a limited role? As long as he gets opportunities to hunt quarterbacks, he should be satisfied. Quinn has a mild-mannered personality and shouldn’t rock the boat.
The Eagles parted with a 2023 fourth-rounder to snag Quinn. That leaves them just six draft picks next April, but they still have two firsts, a second and third and two seventh-rounders. And it shouldn’t be hard for Roseman to recoup the fourth.General manager Howie Roseman has valued experienced edge rushers coming off the bench in recent years and now gets one to replace Tarron Jackson and Patrick Johnson’s snaps. It’s hard to imagine Quinn coming anywhere close to the 18.
Still, the 2021 second-team All-Pro should be more efficient in a lesser role on a talented Eagles defensive front the same way Chris Long did in 2017 and Michael Bennett managed to the year after. Having Quinn and Brandon Graham as the backup edge rushers will ensure opposing offensive tackles don’t get plays off when the games matter the most.
