Dolphins trade for DE Robert Quinn

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.

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.

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

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.

      Tyler Warren

      Man, what interesting polarization here.  Some, hard pass while others would jump their own mom to make  the pick (ok, I just inserted that mental image, ha ha). Warren produced despite being the main focal point of the Penn State offense.  I didn't watch Penn State, but that's what a lot of talking heads are saying so take that with a gigantic grain of salt here!  When I watch the highlights and listen to the analysis: dude is a bully.  He's big, strong and fast enough.  Not a home run threat of a guy, but someone who can use his size and strength to his advantage, like how Gronk did.  Does that make him a sure fire HOF player before he plays a snap?  No, of course not! But I think it's also very important to look at what's happened to other high draft pick TEs.  Top 10 TEs rarely make an impact.  Look at Kyle Pitts in ATL.  He's a great athlete, but was he a worthy high draft pick?  TJ Hockinson.  He was suppose to be a can't miss product, and was traded to the Vikings.  Here's a handy list (despite the source, eww): https://thefalconswire.usatoday.com/gallery/nfl-draft-falcons-tight-end-kyle-pitts-hayden-hurst-atlanta/ There has been much better value drafting guys in the 2nd-4th rounds.  I have no idea if Warren will wash out or not, but I'd MUCH rather draft the best pass rusher, CB or even WR than a TE in the top 10.  Now if the Panthers traded down into the late teens or early 20s and they are sold on him being a difference maker...  I guess that's a different conversation. It could also just be a smoke screen.  Since we telegraphed Legette last year, could be gaming some of the other teams.  Or we could have a hard-on for him. I do enjoy the off season 😃

      ProFootballFocus presents: Carolina Panthers 7-round mock draft: Bryce Young gets some help, defense gets reinforcements

      Guess I'm in the minority, love this mock. If you told me we somehow could get both TMac and Starks I would have thought that meant we traded future picks to move up.
