N/S Robert Quinn was given the choice between the Cowboys and the Saints, and he went with DAL. (1 Viewer)

I can’t fault anyone for making choices as to where they want to work, but Quinn might have sharted the bed on this choice.

Why former Pro Bowl DE Robert Quinn chose Cowboys over Saints as trade destination

As he looks to recapture his early-career form, Robert Quinn hopes he'll be the right match for the Cowboys' free-wheeling defense.

[Optimistic Ozzy]

Not a good fit with our locker room anyway. Just my two cents worth.

Obviously a very goos player and don’t blame him. We have 2 really good DEs here, assuming Davenport keeps improving like expected.

Not sure we can afford 3 great DEs. Stulid salary cap.

Just when I thought that I couldn't despise the Dallas Cowboys franchise even more...

Guaranteed to start there with the Gregory medicinal issues.

 

[Saintsphere]

Good for him. Glad he’s happy with his choice.

 

[AgnesT]

They can have him.

Pretty sure this was about getting a starting position more than anything. His most optimistic outlook here would be a heavy rotation as a #3. The most likely projection was only getting 20-40% snaps behind Davenport. Not a great outlook to rack up stats on a 1-year deal so you can get paid.

five-year, $105 million contract

Surprised the Saints would have paid that.

Instead, Quinn said, the Cowboys’ style of play became the deciding factor. A two-time Pro Bowl selection with the Rams from 2013-14, Quinn could provide the team experience to the tune of 69 sacks across eight NFL seasons. The Cowboys, conversely, could offer Quinn freedom in scheme.
“Specifically, it was the way they allowed the D-line to play high-flying,” Quinn said. “We get to attack and get in the backfield more than in other places. I think it was kind of one of those where we could have fun and disrupt the backfield which they want us to do.

As opposed to the Saints who don't ask their D linemen to have fun and disrupt the backfield.

The Saints had five D linemen record at least 4 Sacks last season. The Cowboys had three D Linemen with 4 or more.

He lost me at "I'm excited to play for Jason Garrett and with Dak Prescott"... he might have CTE.

Saints were 5th in the league in sacks and cowboys were 16th

Surprised the Saints would have paid that.

That was Lawrence, not Quinn.

 

[SAINTSFAN]

In other words. he was not into structure, he wanted to freelance in their defense.
