Robert Quinn | Dallas Cowboys | Age: 30
Earlier in the offseason, Chris Ballard mentioned the need for more veteran presence on the defensive line. He feels that letting Al Woods go was something of a mistake in that there wasn’t enough leadership from older players in the room.
Should Ballard prefer to target this route in free agency, Quinn could be a target. Though he’s 30 years old, Quinn is coming off of his second-best season since entering the league in 2011. He recorded 11.5 sacks, 13 tackles for loss and 22 quarterback hits in 2019—all of which were the second-highest of his career.
Quinn isn’t the All-Pro he was in 2014. His game is still serviceable, though, and could put him on the radar for Ballard if the latter is looking for a veteran on a short deal a la Justin Houston.
