5 aggressive trades the Chicago Bears could make this offseason

The Chicago Bears could trade Robert Quinn to Arizona

Maybe the biggest surprise for the Bears, this past season, was the year that Robert Quinn had. His 18.5 sacks were the most he’s had in his entire career, other than the 19.0 he registered back in 2019 with the Rams.

Now, more than ever, would be the time to trade Quinn and his massive contract, while the value is high. Quinn has a cap hit of $17 million, $18 million and $17 million over the next three years, respectively. What are the odds that he plays at this level again in 2022, and beyond?

Last year, Arizona wanted to pair another top pass rusher with Chandler Jones when they signed J.J. Watt. Unfortunately, Watt’s health did not hold up. They could try again with Quinn, here.

The Bears would send Quinn and their highest fifth-round pick (no. 144) to Arizona in exchange for a third and sixth-rounder. This deal would give the Bears two picks in the third round, then, which would end up proving valuable to fill holes elsewhere.

Remember, Trevis Gipson showed flashes last year and if the Bears traded either Mack or Quinn, the youngster would come in and provide a formidable replacement. Although not elite, Gipson is a good enough starter to fill in.
