Robert Quinn traded

I gotta agree with Dammy, I would have done that deal.

Assuming the colts even knew about it. Not every team knows about all deals or availability. It's not like a public auction is held.

You may be right, but every football fan in the world knows that the Colts need a pass rush, you would think that they would be the first team called when trading a pass rusher.

If that's the case, then the Rams are stupid for not getting the best value for Quinn. If you're trading a player, shopping him to every team and getting the best value makes the most sense.

oh I agree. Some people seem to think that the colts are in on every trade and either pass or get outbid. I was pointing out that's not always the case.

Look at the Jimmy Garapollo trade. If the Pats had shopped him hard they could've gotten better than a 2nd be round pick. Compensation was not the only factor. I have no idea what the factors were for the Rams but Quinn had 20ish sacks not that long ago. They flat didn't try hard to get a big return, they couldn't have.

Belicheat wanting to screw the Browns was a big factor. I assume the Rams aren't as petty as the Cheaters. They can, and may very well have, choose not to shop him for the best return, but I can, and will, say their front office made a bad decision to do that.

Quinn played outside linebacker in a 3-4 with the Rams last year. They only got a 5th for him. He may not be what Ballard wants in a de. Nobody else was in love with the guy or they would have gotten better than a 5th. He also counts 12m towards the cap. I'd rather put that kind of money towards an offensive lineman. Don't want him at 12m.

I agree with him as well. Would definitely have spent a mid rounder for Quinn.

I would have been all over that.
