Robert Quinn Traded to Eagles from Bears for 4th-Round Pick in 2023 NFL Draft

The Philadelphia Eagles are bolstering their pass rush, acquiring edge rusher Robert Quinn from the Chicago Bears in exchange for a fourth-round pick in 2023.
According to The MMQB's Albert Breer, the Bears are picking up $7.1 million of Quinn's remaining salary for this season. In turn, the Eagles will pay Quinn a shade over $700,000 for the duration of the campaign.
Quinn, 32, has had a quiet season for the Bears, posting one sack, three quarterback hits and eight tackles in seven games. It's a far cry from his 2021 season when he notched 18.5 sacks.
Dating back to 2018, however, Quinn has rotated mediocre sack totals with big seasons:
2018: 6.5 sacks in 16 games
2019: 11.5 sacks in 14 games
2020: Two sacks in 15 games
2021: 18.5 sacks in 16 games
He's also made an impact on his teammates, as shown by Bears linebacker Roquan Smith's reaction to the trade:
Roquan Smith: “I have a great deal of respect for that guy. … Damn. Crazy.”
Depth on the edge became a major need for the Eagles after Derek Barnett was lost for the season with a torn ACL in September.
The Eagles will have a solid group off the edge in Haason Reddick (4.5 sacks), Brandon Graham (3.0 sacks), Josh Sweat (2.5 sacks) and Quinn. It's a rich-get-richer situation for the 6-0 Eagles, the lone undefeated team in the NFL.
Robert Quinn: Had him as a 2nd-team All Pro last year (18.5 sacks).
Not the same production this year (1 sk, 3 QBH in 159 chances). Has been double-teamed often, per ESPN's metrics.
Big trade for the Eagles. Belichick last week: “Obviously, [Robert] Quinn is one of the great defensive linemen in this era. I mean, his numbers are ridiculous and whatever it was last year, 17, 18 sacks. This guy is a major disruptive force on the edge.” https://t.co/4UIQMit3W0
It appears to be another savvy move for general manager Howie Roseman. He crushed the offseason, adding Reddick and cornerback James Bradberry through free agency, wideout A.J. Brown and defensive back C.J. Gardner-Johnson via trades, and Jordan Davis in the draft, among other moves.
He also added the New Orleans Saints' 2023 first-round pick and 2024 second-rounder in a draft-day picks swap. The Saints are 2-5, meaning the Eagles could have an inbound top-10 pick.
Lions Owner Sheila Ford Hamp Backs Dan Campbell, GM Brad Holmes Despite 1-5 Start

Detroit Lions owner Sheila Ford Hamp hasn't lost faith in head coach Dan Campbell and general manager Brad Holmes despite the team's 1-5 start to the 2022 NFL season.
Ford Hamp acknowledged to reporters Wednesday she's frustrated with the Lions' position but said "we really are making progress." She added Campbell and Holmes were tasked with a "huge teardown and then turnaround," so this isn't the time to be hasty.
#Lions owner Sheila Ford Hamp says she’s frustrated with 1-5 start, but says he’s really believes in “our process.”
"We've got 11 more games to go, so I just don't want to ruin it, push the panic button and give up the ship because I think we've got the right people in place to pull this off, and I truly believe that," she said, per ESPN's Eric Woodyard. "And I wouldn't say that if I didn't believe it."
Detroit hired Holmes and then Campbell in January 2021. Shortly after the latter's arrival, the team lined up Matthew Stafford's trade to the Los Angeles Rams, which signaled a significant rebuild.
The Lions proceeded to go 3-13-1 in 2021, which was effectively a mulligan for everyone involved. Nobody expected them to be title contenders in 2022, but seeing some progress was a reasonable demand.
Detroit's record is a somewhat unfair reflection of its performance. The team's first three losses were all by four points or fewer, and it sits 26th in overall efficiency on Football Outsiders. The Lions aren't good, but they aren't abjectly awful, either.
One could argue they're in a holding pattern anyway until they can move on from Jared Goff at quarterback. The two-time Pro Bowler hasn't had a renaissance in the Motor City (4,828 yards, 30 touchdowns in 14 interceptions in 20 games), and winning in the NFL is difficult without a top-level quarterback.
Cutting Goff will become a realistic pathway this offseason, as his dead-cap hit will drop from $41.5 million to $10 million, per Spotrac. In addition, finishing with a terrible record works in Detroit's favor because it would potentially allow for Holmes and Campbell to select Ohio State quarterback C.J. Stroud or Alabama QB Bryce Young in the 2023 draft.
Holmes signed a five-year deal, while Campbell got a six-year pact. In both cases, it appears they'll have every chance to see their long-term vision through.
Packers HC on Aaron Rodgers' Criticism of Teammates: 'Sometimes Truth Hurts'
Oct 26, 2022

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur doesn't mind Aaron Rodgers calling out his teammates over the past week after the team's third straight loss.
"We have to be truthful with one another, and sometimes truth hurts," LaFleur told reporters. "It's no different than when your kids make a mistake, and you tell them about it. I don't think he publicly called out individuals."
Though he didn't mention anyone by name, Rodgers lamented the team's mistakes this season and suggested benching players Tuesday on The Pat McAfee Show.
"Guys who are making too many mistakes shouldn't be playing," Rodgers said. "We gotta start cutting some reps."
Rodgers also had an issue with the team's drops after Sunday's 23-21 loss to the Washington Commanders.
"There was probably seven or eight passes that could have been caught for sure, but right now we have to have all of them, because we're just not good enough to win without them," the quarterback told reporters.
He showed his emotion on the field after a drop by rookie Romeo Doubs:
The inexperience at receiver is an issue after Davante Adams was traded in the offseason, although Rodgers himself has also struggled during the team's 3-4 start.
The veteran has just a 40.5 Total QBR through seven games, ranked 26th out of 32 qualified quarterbacks in the NFL. He led the league in the category in each of the last two years while winning back-to-back MVP awards.
Rodgers did say he has to raise his own level "a tick," and his resume will grant him plenty of leeway to turn things around. It's clear he will keep calling out his teammates if the level of play doesn't improve.
Packers Rumors: Cardinals' A.J. Green Linked to GB Ahead of NFL Trade Deadline
Oct 26, 2022
A.J. Green
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver A.J.
Green has reportedly emerged as a potential target for the Green Bay
Packers ahead of the 2022 NFL trade deadline on Tuesday.
ESPN's Dan Graziano reported Wednesday
that Green is an "interesting name" to watch for the Packers amid
inconsistent play from their wideouts, which could lead the team's
front office to go outside its usual "comfort zone" to upgrade at
the position.
Green's involvement in the Arizona
offense has been limited this season. He's recorded just 10 catches
for 56 yards with no touchdowns across five appearances.
He also posted modest numbers during
his first year with the Cardinals in 2021—54 receptions for 848
yards and three scores—after a decorated nine-year run with the
Cincinnati Bengals that included seven Pro Bowl selections.
While it's possible Father Time is
starting to take a toll at age 34, the former University of Georgia
standout expressed confidence in August his physical condition wasn't
a serious concern.
"I love playing the game," Green
told Bob McManaman of the Arizona Republic. "I've got a family, I
don't smoke, don't drink. I just live a very simple life, and it keeps
me young. I just focus on football, my wife handles all the other
things, so I keep my mind free."
His role could increase exponentially
if he's traded to the Packers, where longtime quarterback Aaron
Rodgers is trying to find trustworthy targets amid the team's
lackluster 3-4 start.
Rodgers discussed Tuesday on the Pat
McAfee Show (h/t Kevin Patra of NFL.com) his desire to see give some
different players an opportunity over those who've been making
consistent errors.
"Guys who are making too many
mistakes shouldn't be playing, you know,” he said. “Gotta start
cutting some reps, and maybe guys who aren't playing, give them a
chance."
Green is playing on a one-year, $3.5
million contract and is buried on the Cardinals' depth chart, so the
Packers would likely be able to acquire him for a reasonable return,
likely a late-round draft pick.
Bringing in a consummate professional like Green, who could both improve the team's pass-catching group this season and
provide some guidance for the younger members of Green Bay's receiver
room, certainly makes a lot of sense on the surface.
Ultimately, whether it's the longtime Bengals star or
another veteran, it wouldn't be a surprise to see the Packers add
another target for Rodgers before next week's deadline.
Aaron Rodgers: Packers Have Guys 'Making Too Many Mistakes,' Suggests Cutting Snaps
Oct 25, 2022

It might be time for the Green Bay Packers to officially panic.
Packers star Aaron Rodgers made his regular appearance on The Pat McAfee Show on Tuesday and didn't hesitate to provide his honest assessment of the team's 3-4 start.
At one point, the two-time reigning MVP said the Packers "have double-digit mistakes every week." He added that "guys that are making too many mistakes shouldn't be playing" as many reps.
"We had too many mental mistakes & errors on Sunday.. it seems like we have double digit mistakes every week" @AaronRodgers12 shares his thoughts on the Packers loss in Washington #PMSLive#ARTpic.twitter.com/Kk5gfeX7VV
There's the cliche about how when you point one finger, you have three pointing back at you. To some degree, that applies to Rodgers.
Through seven games, he has thrown for 1,597 yards, 11 touchdowns and three interceptions. His 228.1 yards per game are on pace to be his fewest since becoming a full-time starter in 2008, and he ranks 26th in ESPN.com's QBR metric (40.5).
After trading Davante Adams to the Las Vegas Raiders, the Packers didn't do a lot to replace the five-time Pro Bowler.
You can understand why Rodgers is frustrated when Robert Tonyan, Allen Lazard, Romeo Doubs and Randall Cobb are his four best receivers. Christian Watson, whom Green Bay selected in the second round of the 2022 draft, had just seven receptions for 52 yards before picking up a hamstring injury.
At the same time, there's no getting around the fact Rodgers isn't performing at his usual level.
My conclusion after 7 weeks of watching this #Packers offense is that until Aaron Rodgers starts playing like Aaron Rodgers, Matt LaFleur needs to run this offense like his QB is Jimmy G.
Not to mention, the general questions surrounding Rodgers' long-term future in Green Bay played a role in Adams wanting to leave in the first place.
The Packers' predicament is down to a number of factors, from coaching to building the roster to the players' performance on the field. Rodgers isn't solely to blame for the team's record, and Green Bay would almost assuredly be worse without him.
Still, the 38-year-old shouldn't be exempt from criticism, and Tuesday's comments might come off to some like him throwing his teammates under the bus.
Justin Fields Draws Rave Reviews on Twitter in Bears' Statement Win over Patriots
Oct 25, 2022

Even during an inconsistent start to his career, there have been times that Justin Fields flashed the immense potential that convinced the Chicago Bears to trade up and draft him in the first round in 2021.
There were plenty of those times during a 33-14 victory over the New England Patriots on Monday.
Fields went 13-of-21 for 179 yards, one touchdown and one interception as a passer while making a number of electrifying plays with his legs on the way to 82 yards and one touchdown on the ground. He put the team on his back at times and helped Chicago snap a three-game losing streak and improve to 3-4.
It was a refreshing performance for Bears fans who have watched an offense that has largely struggled all year, and the Ohio State product drew plenty of praise on social media in the process:
What an encouraging night. Lots of flashes from Fields. Arguably his best game as a pro when you factor in the rushing. Credit to the Bears staff for using the mini-bye to weaponize him in the ground game. This is the best spot coaches have put him in ~20 games.
As enthralling as Zappe Fever is, I have to say, Justin Fields is looking pretty good tonight. Adjusting his arm angle on that screen throw to Herbert with the pressure bearing down on him is good instinctive QB stuff.
Justin Fields stacked good plays in the first half. That's probably the best first half he's ever played in a #Bears uniform. Something to build on into the 2nd half.
Justin Fields has the talent and the tools. (a couple overthrown passes but) Making the Bears offense actually fit around HIM can unlock a whole different QB for Chicago. Its not there yet but it's riiiiiiiiight there
Praise was anything but the discourse surrounding the Chicago offense coming off a 12-7 loss to the Washington Commanders the last time out, making Monday's performance all the more shocking.
While Fields has room to improve, the struggles also underscored the issues around him. According to ESPN Stats & Info, he was pressured on 46 percent of his dropbacks through six games—a record since the stat was tracked starting in 2009.
The lack of talent at wide receiver was also never more apparent than when Darnell Mooney failed to haul in the potential game-winner at the end of the Washington loss.
Yet the offense on display Monday looked nothing like that, with Fields rolling out of the pocket, completing passes off play-action, fitting throws into tight windows and running for chunk plays.
He even impressed on a screen pass to Khalil Herbert that went for a touchdown, changing his arm angle in the face of pressure and delivering the ball right before he was sandwiched by two defenders.
It was the type of showing that should give Fields more confidence moving forward as he attempts to establish himself as the franchise quarterback Chicago has been missing for so long.
Things won't get easier with an upcoming road trip to face the Dallas Cowboys, but there is plenty to build on from Monday's win.
Video: Jaquan Brisker Intercepts Mac Jones After Patriots QB Kicks Bears DB in Groin

If Jaquan Brisker had revenge on his mind, it didn't take him long to execute it.
Mac Jones kicked the rookie safety in the groin as he slid feet-first at the end of a scramble, which caused Brisker to exit the game for a play. However, the Penn State product made an incredible one-handed interception just three plays after the kick:
Patriots head coach Bill Belichick apparently had seen enough because he put Bailey Zappe into the game for Jones on the team's ensuing offensive series. All Zappe did was throw a 30-yard touchdown pass to Jakobi Meyers on his fourth play.
As for Brisker, he can be a bright spot for the 2-4 Bears if he continues to make plays like that interception.
Bears 'Encouraged' by Justin Fields' Development, GM Ryan Poles Says
Oct 25, 2022

The Chicago Bears haven't given their fans much to cheer for during a 2-4 start this season, but general manager Ryan Poles isn't giving up on the team's young quarterback.
"I know Justin [Fields] has been a big topic and his development," Poles told reporters Monday. "And we're encouraged with the progress that is there. It's not on the statistics and on the paper all the time, but he is getting better in a lot of different areas. I think as a whole, we've got to continue to play better around him as well to allow him to keep playing well and get his confidence going and execute at a high level."
While Fields has shown flashes of his potential at times, especially with his ability to make plays with his legs, the statistics don't tell a pretty story.
He entered Monday's game against the New England Patriots completing 54.8 percent of his passes for 869 yards, four touchdowns and five interceptions. On the positive side, he ran for 282 yards and one score through those first six games.
The Ohio State product also isn't working with much in terms of talent around him.
Darnell Mooney—who failed to haul in a potential game-winning touchdown pass on the final offensive play of the most recent loss to the Washington Commanders—is talented but far from a dominant No. 1 wide receiver.
Meanwhile, the secondary pass-catchers are a group of journeymen that includes Cole Kmet, Dante Pettis, Equanimeous St. Brown, Byron Pringle, N'Keal Harry and Velus Jones Jr.
What's more, the offensive line allowed pressure on 46 percent of Fields' dropbacks through the first six games, per ESPN Stats & Info. That was the highest rate of pressure for the first six games of a season since such tracking started in 2009.
"How he's being used? Are we putting him in the position where he can be successful? And then the execution and the details of what he's being asked to do and really speeding up to the game and making decisions quicker," Poles said when discussing different ways to evaluate Fields.
"But again, the beautiful thing about football, it's reliant on everybody else. As a whole, we have to improve, and I think we'll see that everyone starts to get better, and then we'll start to ascend."
Chicago is not a realistic contender this season but does have the most cap space in the NFL for next offseason, per Over The Cap.
If Fields shows signs that he is the franchise quarterback the Bears have long been looking for as the rest of the 2022 campaign plays out, they could use some of that cap space to add more weapons around the signal-caller and perhaps compete in the NFC North as soon as next season.
Aaron Rodgers Listed as Double-Digit Underdog for 1st Time Ahead of Packers vs. Bills
Oct 24, 2022

Losers of three straight games and with a trip to Buffalo on the Week 8 schedule, the Green Bay Packers are currently listed as 10.5-point underdogs at DraftKings Sportsbook for next Sunday's game against the Bills.
Ben Fawkes of VSiN reported it marks the first time in Aaron Rodgers' career he'll start a game as a double-digit underdog.
Green Bay's offensive woes continued in Sunday's 23-21 loss to the Washington Commanders, as Rodgers was limited to 194 yards on 23-of-35 passing. He has not topped 255 passing yards in a game all season and ranks 26th among quarterbacks in QBR (40.5).
"I'm not worried about this squad. In fact, this might be the best thing for us," Rodgers told reporters. "This week, nobody's going to give us a chance, going to Buffalo on Sunday Night Football, with a chance to get exposed. Shoot, this might be the best thing for us."
The oddsmakers have plenty of reason to back the Bills. Buffalo looks like the Super Bowl favorite through the first seven weeks of the season, reeling off a 5-1 record and coming off a win over the Kansas City Chiefs. In fact, the Bills are so historically backed by the books that they made Patrick Mahomes a home underdog for the first time in his career in Week 6.
With a bye week getting the Bills back to as close to full health as they've been since the opening of the season, Rodgers and Co. are going to have an uphill battle at covering 10.5 points—let alone pulling off an upset win.
That said, Rodgers is the back-to-back reigning NFL MVP for a reason. He's pulled off far bigger wins against far better teams in far more dire circumstances.
For what it's worth, that spread also means the Packers sit at +420 odds (bet $100 to win $420) to win the game outright. Bettors may never get a chance to roll the dice on Rodgers at +420 again the remainder of his career, so this may be a come-up chance of the season.
Packers Must Consider Chase Claypool, Brandin Cooks, Other WRs amid NFL Trade Rumors
Oct 24, 2022

The Green Bay Packers are in trouble, even if quarterback Aaron Rodgers believes that it isn't time to panic.
"I'm not worried about this squad. In fact, this might be the best thing for us," the 38-year-old told reporters after Sunday's 23-21 loss to the Washington Commanders.
Rodgers, who has a passer rating of just 94.9—his lowest since 2015—has been part of the problem. The reigning MVP hasn't been shredding defenses, making huge plays with consistency or carrying the offense as he has in the past.
One reason for this is that Green Bay just doesn't have a ton of receiver talent.
The Packers traded No. 1 receiver Davante Adams in the offseason, and they've found no one to replace him as Rodgers' top target. Second-round rookie Christian Watson has been underwhelming when he's even been available, and Allen Lazard is not a No. 1-caliber receiver.
On Sunday, the signal-caller's best target was running back Aaron Jones, who finished with nine receptions, 53 yards and two touchdowns. In a game in which the Packers trailed by two scores late, that's a serious problem.
Green Bay may have to find its solution on the trade block, and Rodgers does expect general manager Brian Gutekunst to be active.
"There's the possibility, if certain guys emerge, of us having a chance to
make a run. I know [GM] Brian [Gutekunst] believes the same thing,"
Rodgers told reporters last week. "But if there’s an opportunity, I would expect that Brian will be in the mix."
Others around the league expect Green Bay to target a receiver before the November 1 trade deadline as well.
"A few general managers I've spoken to are certain Green Bay is looking
for potential receiver help on the trade market," ESPN's Jeremy Fowler wrote last week.
Two of the biggest names the Packers could target are Pittsburgh Steelers wideout Chase Claypool and Houston Texans receiver Brandin Cooks. New York Jets wide receiver Denzel Mims and New England Patriots wideout Kendrick Bourne are also in the mix.
Cooks has been the "target of multiple calls," according to NFL Media's Ian Rapoport.
"The Jets' Denzel Mims, the Patriots' Kendrick Bourne and the Steelers' Chase Claypool are among the wideouts that teams expect to be available prior to the Nov. 1 deadline," ESPN's Dan Graziano wrote.
However, Claypool and Cooks may not be realistic targets for the Packers. The Texans were reluctant to part with the latter last year and instead view him as a long-term piece of the puzzle.
"The productive Cooks is the kind of player the Texans want to build
around, not trade. Don't expect him to be available," Rapoport wrote at last year's deadline.
The Steelers, meanwhile, aren't going to let Claypool go at a low price point and may not make him available at all. If the Packers want to add a bigger name at the deadline, they may want to target Denver Broncos wideout Jerry Jeudy.
Big-name WRs generating trade interest: -- #Texans WR Brandin Cooks has been the target of multiple calls. -- #Steelers WR Chase Claypool has been in focus, but is not expected to be deal, barring a shift. -- Broncos WR Jerry Jeudy has been the center of calls, as DEN sputtered.
Jeudy, who was a first-round pick in 2020, is an interesting name to consider. He hasn't been spectacular this season, but he does have 386 receiving yards and two touchdowns. The Broncos have stumbled to a 2-5 record and are short on future draft capital after dealing for quarterback Russell Wilson.
Might Denver be willing to move Jeudy to add another high selection or two to its draft cache? It's worth a little investigation on Gutekunst's part.
If Jeudy cannot be had at a reasonable price, the Packers should at least kick the tires on Mims. He's made only one appearance this season (in Week 7) but was available in the offseason.
While the 25-year-old remains largely unproven, he shouldn't be expensive to acquire.
Jets wide receiver Elijah Moore has requested a trade and was inactive against the Broncos on Sunday, which led to Mims getting an opportunity.
The Jets certainly don't sound as if they intend to trade Moore, though.
"We're young at the skill positions on offense and it's got a really good chance to grow together," Jets head coach Robert Saleh said, per NFL.com's Nick Shook. "So from his perspective, I just think he's competitive. He wants more, and that doesn't make himself. it just, in my mind, makes him a competitor."
While the Packers may not have many realistic trade options, Gutekunst needs to consider them all and make a strong push for players like Claypool and Cooks, even if they're ultimately unavailable. Green Bay is desperately missing a downfield element to its passing attack, and that's a major hindrance.
Not only has the offense become relatively one-dimensional, but the lack of an explosive passing game has also led to defensive struggles.
Green Bay's run defense, which has allowed an average of 4.8 yards per carry, has been exposed because opponents are no longer playing catch-up on the scoreboard. Last year's run defense (4.7 yards per carry allowed) was also bad, but it was masked by the Packers often playing with a lead.
Getting Watson (hamstring) and Randall Cobb (ankle) back may help, but there doesn't appear to be a quick fix on the Packers' roster. If Green Bay hopes to dramatically improve its passing attack, it will have to seek a trade. And with the November 1 deadline fast approaching, the clock is ticking.
