Quinn was a flat out stud a few years ago but he had two injury riddles seasons and then an inconsistent season last year. He just hasn't been worth his contract and is a better fit in a 4-3 D anyway. The Rams free up over $11M in cap space by trading him.

Look for the Rams to go pass rusher early in April because I don't think the answer is currently on their roster.

This trade hurts us twice.... one, we don't get a 27-yr old DE and fill that need in our rotation. Secondly, (as Untouchable said) and more importantly, that's $20M off their books over the next two years means both Watkins and Joyner are easier to retain in LA.

Never know why Carolina is never involved in any of these trades. Would have been a nice addition.

Agreed, but if the pick is a R4 pick, then we couldn't do that, and I don't think Quinn is worth one of our thirds. 

I doubt LAR take a 5th rounder within the NFC contender for a 27 yo DE that would really thrive in our system. 

I feel your pain sir... trust... this is the kind of DE deal we need to find this offseason. The draft isn't going to help us, and Peppers/Addison is shaky to be counted on for 19-20 games this year.

Yeah, I think we would've had to have made a significantly better offer for the Rams to send him to  fellow NFC contender. Plus, we would've had to account for his contract. He would've been over $10M on the cap this year and almost $12M next year.

      Are the Panthers a "Trap Game" for the Hawks?

      By trucpfan · Posted

      This is huge may not be a trap game but this plays a major part in what they want to do. If we can get some pressure on Sam we know what he does with pressure coming hit and heavy. Also we may be able to take the top off their defense a backup safety trying to stop TMac or Cooker over the top or forcing him to play the backend should allow us to run the ball somewhat effectively. Either they allow some runs or we take some shots and if Bryce and whoever can connect deep we’ll be in business for another big time win against a top notch opponent. Might not be a trap game but health travel game plans all play a major role in each weeks game plan and this week might be leaving our way. We’re missing some replaceable pieces they’re missing key anchors to the offense and defense major difference time to solidly ourselves at one of the top teams in the nfc tomorrow fellas buckle up.

      Give Legette another season?

      Yes.  If I am not mistaken, we need to sign Coker to the ERFA tender and insist that XL spends his spring and summer at a WR camp and not Coon huntin on his four wheeler.  XL was raw when we picked him--which is why I wanted to go another direction--and we are seeing how raw.  He is basically learning a position.     The Panthers will make their move in 2026 to be an NFL powerhouse behind Bryce.  Bryce needs intelligent WRs who catch the ball.  That said, we need a solid #2 to challenge XL and make cutting him easy, if necessary.  A #2 WR (intented to be a #1 by now) with under 400 yards is embarrassing.   On offense, you have to ask, "Where can we get better?"  In my view, #2 WR, TE (although they are improving) and maybe C (again, if we re-sign Mays, he is trending up and at 26, entering his prime--I say stay with him and find competition later in the draft (not good for C).  OL depth maybe?  In other words, XL is a glaring weak spot.
