With the November 1 trade deadline approaching, the Philadelphia Eagles filled one of their holes on the defensive line by picking up 12-year veteran edge rusher Robert Quinn from the Chicago Bears.
The Eagles made a similar move when they signed Chris Long before they went on their Super Bowl winning season in 2017; and most recently, the Los Angeles Rams traded for Von Miller on Nov 1st 2021, giving their line new life before they went on their Super Bowl run.
As many say, you can’t ever have enough pass rushers.
One of the best aspects of the trade is how general manager Howie Roseman made the deal without having to pay Quinn his $7.1 million remaining salary for the season. The Eagles will have solid depth in their rotation, without giving up too much capital in the process.
Let’s go to the film to see how the Eagles plan on fitting in their three-time Pro Bowl edge rusher!
