Emotions ran high among the players after the Bears traded Robert Quinn to the Eagles in exchange for a fourth-round draft pick.
wanted on their roster when Ryan Poles and Matt Eberflus began reshaping the team. He plays with a high motor on every snap, he’s a reliable veteran who could show young players the ropes, and he’s a really good guy. A really, really good guy. So Poles was earnest when he said it was “extremely hard” to make the decision to trade him to the Eagles in exchange for a fourth-round pick in next year’s draft.
“These decisions, they’re really, really tough because it’s not a transaction, it’s deeper than that,” Poles said.Sign up for NBC Chicago newsletters. “There’s the emotional side, the human part of it that you know you’re affecting not only a man but his family. You’re kind of shaking that all up and I don’t take that lightly at all and I’m sensitive to that.”
There’s also the consideration of the effect a trade like this could have on the locker room. Quinn was a captain, and one of the most respected players in the locker room. Quinn is not the most vocal leader, but his 12-year, 100+ sack career did the talking for him. He led by example, and young pass rushers learned a lot from him.
Roquan Smith was addressing the media when news of the trade broke, and when asked about it Smith started tearing up. He wasn’t able to compose himself and had to end his press conference early. The Bears had been feeling great about themselves following their huge upset against the Patriots on Monday Night Football. The Quinn trade could be felt as a sobering reality check.
