Bears sign OLB Robert Quinn 5 years 70 million

Also, does this take Pace out of the Teddy market with his salary?

I think it takes us out of the Teddy and Carr and Cam market. I don't think Bears have space for those contracts.

probably a back loaded deal for Quinn...guaranteed money may actually be less than Floyd this year

Was it an overspend? Yes.

Was he the best pass rusher on the market? Also yes.

He's not the same guy he was in 2013 (19 sacks), but he's good at getting to the QB.

He is there to provide some pressure off Hicks and Mack....

I like this actually. Hicks\Mack/Quinn are a three headed monster. Floyd just couldn’t rush the QB.

I have a feeling Brady the next move

anyone who thinks we are not better off paying Quinn about the same as Floyd doesn't belong posting about football.

its coming.......

Basically 2 years cause it's $14 mil per.

Not necessarily, they can spread it out however they want.

Could be 8-10-12-20-20.

Front 4 should be very good.

The issue you'll have is age. Quinn will be 30, Hicks will be 31 and the baby of the group being Mack will be 29. You guys are certainly in 'win now' mode, but then again that was probably a foregone conclusion when you signed Graham.

Anyway, I'm now expecting a big splash at QB. No way you are spending this much on aging players then fully leaving yourself exposed at QB for any hicups that happen with Mitch. Thinking Cam, Bridgewater or Foles.

Bears are clearly going for it NOW. They can restructure Mack and sign whoever they want.

Get Andy Dalton, Robert Quinn, and Jimmy Graham, and you got a bomb as 2014 Chicago Bears team.

Bears are clearly going for it NOW. They can restructure Mack and sign whoever they want.

Plus the 30% rule is gone. So they can make the contracts blow up after year 1.

A bit of a stop gap, but I like this move... No longer can teams concentrate on just 2 on passing downs.

Ryan Pace doing what he does best, finding proven talent and strengthening the bears strength while completely ignoring the big issue and weaknesses.

cant wait to watch them lose games where they hold the opponents to 10 points.

With the Quinn signing it won't happen...no way to clear up that much space

Going to see a lot of 13-10 final scores.

Y-Pass rush win rate
X-double team rate

Huge Upgrade

I actually love this move. You're getting a value because of his injuries. If he had been healthy, he'd be at 120 million or so. And given the short term commitment and the production he could have, I am happy.

I'll say it again, I don't think they were ever targeting a QB. They intend to trade up into the first and snag one
