Robert Quinn to Miami for a 4th round pick and moving up in the 12 spots in the 6th round. Wow.

I know he is not what he used to be(talk about a flash in the pan) but I would have done that deal in a heartbeat. Why can we never get these deals? We always over pay for one year wonders who were never great like a 3rd for Corey Williams and a premium pick (2nd) for a 29 year old Shaun Rogers who had a great season in Detroit but he was never exactly Wilfork, Ngata or Hampton either.

A mid 4th rounder? We need deals like this to start happening if we want to get out of the basement.

There's a reason his price is so low. He's been injured two of the last three years and he wasn't good this last year as he had been pre-injuries (still an okay pass rusher, but no help with the run and not the ELITE pass rusher he used to be to make up for his run D), but his contract gives him about 12M AAV the next couple years. That said, he's definitely not a BAD buy at the price, especially considering our cap situation. I think it's solid, but I'm not super mad we didn't do it. Only a little mad. And mainly just because that's a 4th round pick probably filling in a hole a bunch of people want to burn a first round pick on (3rd rusher).

I wouldn't have hated to bring in Quinn at that price and have him reunite with Williams, but I'm not mad about it either. He's definitely a shell of his former self and isn't worth the money he's making.

Shaun Rogers was a stud, sorry. He probably was one of the few dominant forces on defense we've had since 99

Miami with no regard for petty nonsense like salary caps.

Don’t love Quinn at 12/yr.

I agree mostly. For our situation though with almost 130 in cap space and a must spend 59 this year and a measly 4th round pick? I'd pay him 20 mil a year for the next 2 years for a 4th round pick. We also would have the perfect makings for him to spark his career as he wouldn't have to be a starter or even in a heavy rotation. If he were used as a pure pass rush specialist I think it would bring back some of that juice.

Mute now as he's already gone.

Yeah, no. He is hands down in the Top 2 if not the best defensive player since 99 (Jamir MIller) but he was still not a stud. He was a powerful man and made some wow plays but he had some flaws in his game that teams exposed often. And like I said he never was at any point ever on the same level as Hampton, Wilfork or Ngata.

A) Ngata was 5 tech in Baltimore and B) Rogers 2008 season was one of the best seasons as a NT....ever. Better than Hampton and better than Wilfork's best. And C) NAME THOSE FLAWS THAT TEAMS SUPPOSEDLY EXPOSED?

He was a Pro Bowl player for the Browns that got injured.

He wasn't meant to play in the 3-4, IMO.
