Bears star pass rusher Robert Quinn was noticeably absent from the start of Chicago’s mandatory minicamp on Tuesday. Any time an NFL player skips any practice, it’s worth noting. Sometimes it means nothing, and they simply had a day off.
But when that player is a 32-year-old veteran on a squad with a new head coach, Matt Eberflus, and general manager , Ryan Poles, then you can start to wonder. And if that player, according to Over The Cap, also has a $17.1 million cap hit in 2022, the TRADE SIRENS should start blaring.
When asked about Quinn’s current situation after skipping a mandatory practice, Eberflus didn’t offer confirmation the Bears were shopping the 2021 Second-Team All-Pro. (Pro Football Focus’s Brad Spielberger believes Chicago could net a third/fourth-round pick for Quinn.)
