Dolphins trade for DE Robert Quinn

Oh snap

[Mr. Scot]

That's big.  Quinn is really good.

[LinvilleGorge]

Quinn was a flat out stud a few years ago but he had two injury riddles seasons and then an inconsistent season last year. He just hasn't been worth his contract and is a better fit in a 4-3 D anyway. The Rams free up over $11M in cap space by trading him.

Look for the Rams to go pass rusher early in April because I don't think the answer is currently on their roster.

Hurts if you were hoping to get Watkins

Man I wish we could have figured something out for Quinn, just a pipe dream but it would have been nice.

[Soul Rebel]

This trade hurts us twice.... one, we don't get a 27-yr old DE and fill that need in our rotation. Secondly, (as Untouchable said) and more importantly, that's $20M off their books over the next two years means both Watkins and Joyner are easier to retain in LA.

Rams trading Robert Quinn and a late round pick to Miami for a mid-round pick, and  late-round picks. So trade looks as it will involve three picks and one player.

Never know why Carolina is never involved in any of these trades. Would have been a nice addition.

Quinn is much better as a DE than a standup OLB.

Fug me, wanted this guys so bad.

Agreed, but if the pick is a R4 pick, then we couldn't do that, and I don't think Quinn is worth one of our thirds. 

I doubt LAR take a 5th rounder within the NFC contender for a 27 yo DE that would really thrive in our system. 

I feel your pain sir... trust... this is the kind of DE deal we need to find this offseason. The draft isn't going to help us, and Peppers/Addison is shaky to be counted on for 19-20 games this year.

Yeah, I think we would've had to have made a significantly better offer for the Rams to send him to  fellow NFC contender. Plus, we would've had to account for his contract. He would've been over $10M on the cap this year and almost $12M next year.

As long as Hurney is here and the team is still owned by JR, the Panthers will never make these kinds of moves.
