Eagles boost defense, trade for DE Quinn

The undefeated Eagles acquired three-time Pro Bowl defensive end Robert Quinn from the Bears on Wednesday.

The Bears get a fourthround pick in 2023 in return.

Quinn goes from a rebuilding franchise to a Super Bowl contender. The Eagles (6-0) are the lone undefeated team and have one of the NFL’s best defenses. The Eagles, who were off last week, host the Steelers on Sunday.

“I think it’s another great player on this team,” Eagles QB Jalen Hurts said. “... I think he’ll help us out in a number of ways. ”

The 32-year-old Quinn is off to a slow start with just one sack and three quarterback hits. But he broke Hall of Famer Richard Dent’s Bears record with 18 ½ sacks last year in a resurgent season.

He played the next two games before sitting out the next four.
