Not paying your rising star quarterback $40 million a year (yet) creates all kinds of possibilities like this. I know it's probably not gonna happen. But I'm hoping Hurts takes a page out of the TB12 playbook and not ask for max contract. I'm hoping he realizes it's better to surround yourself with help. But that's a different thread. Lol

They're going all in for a championship, why not they're 6-0 with a favorable schedule. Howie will always figure out the contracts. There are extensions where he spreads out the cap impact, renegotiated contracts where money gets moved to a signing bonus, some guys will walk in free agency and they'll use the draft picks to replace. The dead money has been a problem but he's mostly fixed his mistakes from prior years. Cox will be gone, BG might retire, Kelce might retire especially if they win the SB he'll go out on top. https://overthecap.com/player/robert-quinn/1343

This is exactly why he's brought here, to close out himself or allow his peers on the line to feast. Great trade.

Great trade. It's remarkable all around. The Bears are eating most of his 2022 salary and the Eagles can walk away at any time. My guess is they'll restructure - he had 18.5 sacks just last year - but this is Howie at his best.

Bears are paying most of salary which is good for other extensions. 4th is fine with me to try to win this year. Worry about what Quinn has left but worth a shot

Worry about what Quinn has left but worth a shot Same here. Leaving them with 2 1sts (including a very high pick from New Orleans), a 2nd, a 3rd and 2 7ths. Don't be surprised if Howie doesn't spin someone off in the next few days before the deadline to pick up a couple of 3rd - 5ths as well.

Can't do that here. He feasted opposite Khalil Mack last season. Mack is feasting himself with the Chargers this season, but it left Quinn all alone. They lost a bunch on that Bears Dline this past off-season.

October 26, 20222 yr Yeah really like this move. Not really shown up this year, at least with sacks, but we don’t get this kind of deal if he has. Can keep all the DEs fresh now. Hopefully has a Chris Long type impact!
October 26, 20222 yr This is massive. We probably could have gotten him for less than a 4th, but Howie bought cap space too
October 26, 20222 yr https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2022/10/26/bears-send-robert-quinn-to-eagles/ Bears send Robert Quinn to Eagles Posted by Mike Florio on October 26, 2022, 4:07 PM EDT It’s Dream Team, Part Two. As the 6-0 Eagles emerge from their bye, they’re doing it with a new addition at pass rusher. Per multiple reports, the Bears are trading Robert Quinn to the Eagles. Quinn set a team record with 18.5 sacks in 2021. He has one sack through seven games in 2021. Quinn has a salary of $12.8 million this year. He’s signed through 2024, at salaries of $13.9 million in 2023 and $12.9 million in 2024. The Bears reportedly weren’t "actively shopping” Quinn in the offseason. Apparently, some passive shopping has recently occurred, and the Bears continue to tear it down (in the aftermath of a signature win) and the Eagles keep trying to build it up.
October 26, 20222 yr Was there a corresponding move announced to free up a roster spot or were we sitting at 52?
October 26, 20222 yr Definitely an upgrade from Barnett. This was a no brainer for a 4th. Also, if he produces this season and the Eagles let him walk, we will get a decent comp pick. So, very little downside here. Howie kicks ass again.
October 26, 20222 yr Can't believe they traded a draftpick when they have 17 free agents including 10 starters and a big contract coming for Hurts.

October 26, 20222 yr Do we even have 13 M$? And for how much did we get him? 32 isn't really young either... Edit: a fourth is not too painful. Just a lot of salary. Bears trading pass rusher Robert Quinn to Eagles for fourth-round pick (nfl.com)
