Bears sign OLB Robert Quinn 5 years 70 million

[ZOMBIE@CTESPN]

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

you might be right but if the offer is the same as what breeS got what would it need to make it happen? 13 mil Floyd 2 mil shaheen 1.5 mil brakenwhatever Cohen 2 mil

the Quinn Floyd sign and cut is a wash

 

[Calabis]

This is what's called a desperate move. Quinn is up there in age and has seasons when he just doesnt show up

Lol this is actually brilliant.....him and Mack.....no longer have to worry about Floyd

 

[dabears70]

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

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

That's fine by me to cause many OLB's can play good football well into their mid 30"s. Everyone treats football players like they're RB's and once they hit 30 it's all downhill which is simply not true.

This move will help Eddie Jackson more than anyone.

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.

Well damn i didn't realize free agency and the draft were over? Well i guess i'm gonna pack my things up like Burrow did with his tiny hands and retire for the year.

 

[TheMarshallPlan]

Floyd also officially released

BUT BUT BUT HE HAS SUCH GREAT INTANGIBLES AND DOES THINGS YOU ONLY SEE ON FILM!

Love this move.

Don't know much about Quinn, but appreciate that Pace is willing to cut and run on Floyd.

This is going to help Pagano a great deal. Lots of pressure, lots of press man on the outside. Roving single high safety.

If this is the Quinn from his early StL years or last year, this will make the defense #1 again. He'll improve the secondary by providing a pass rush

Especially with pass rushers. They can still be dominant well after 30

I heard Pace won't pay top dollar for the best available player and that he hangs on to his drafted players because of his ego....

 

[ChiKhan]

Woohoo yeah baby 85 bears defense is coming into form. Super Bowl babyyyy.

Okay I'm not serious but I'm pumped for this move.

Quinn is a huge upgrade over Leonard Floyd.

My guess is this is a 2 year 30 million dollar deal with a bonuses spread out to lower cap hits.

My guess is the year 1 cap hit is lower than Floyd's option.

I doubt he can drop back in coverage like Floyd can.

We keep forgetting 1 out of every 4 plays Floyd was dropping in coverage. There were times that Hicks dropped in coverage. Maybe its time to just get this team playing straight a head, both offense and defense.

I've wanted to move on from Floyd for a while now....Quinn was the best available guy to rush the passer in free agency and we had to pay good money for a 30 year old player but the next couple years will have great defenses.

 

[WindyCity]

There is more talent left on defense.

The draft needs to be about the offense now.

 

[mceownr22]

LEGENDARY bash this however you want. Great additiona, looks like a reasonable pay, and we finally have someone opposite Mack and Hicks, Whole D is going to get better... along with a young talent infusion from the draft to even this out.

He is 100x the pass rusher.

I'll review all of these moves once I see who will start at QB. I think it's a clear upgrade and a good move as long as it isn't the limiting factor to upgrading at QB.
