Philadelphia Eagles Acquire DE Robert Quinn From Bears
- The Eagles are trading a fourth-round pick to the Bears for Quinn.
- Quinn had a breakout year last season, posting a franchise-record 18.5 sacks. He’s taken a bit of a step back this season, recording just one sack and two quarterback hits, and his 43.8 PFF grade is a career-low mark.
- The Bears will eat most of Quinn’s remaining salary for this season, which is similar to what the Denver Broncos did last year when they traded Von Miller. Quinn’s 2023 and 2024 salaries are not guaranteed.
- Quinn will join a pass-rush unit that already includes Brandon Graham, Haason Reddick and Josh Sweat. Philadelphia’s 78.6 pass-rush grade ranks seventh in the league.
