The Bears reportedly traded star pass rusher Robert Quinn to the Eagles on Wednesday in exchange for a fourth-round pick, giving Philadelphia a much-needed talent on the defensive line ahead of the push for the postseason.
On the other hand, Chicago will lose a valued veteran and leader, a fact that was only further emphasized by one of Quinn’s teammates Wednesday.
Fellow Bears defender Roquan Smith was at his afternoon press conference when news of the Quinn trade broke and was clearly still processing the information when a reporter asked him what he made of Quinn’s time in Chicago.
