A quiet Wednesday turned very loud when the Bears traded star pass rusher Robert Quinn to the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for a fourth-round draft pick.
Linebacker Roquan Smith was at the podium talking to the media when the news was relayed to him and he had an emotional reaction to it.
When asked for his reaction to the trade, Smith became emotional before walking off.
The Bears are expected to eat most of Quinn’s remaining 2022 salary.
Coming off an 18.5-sack season in 2021, Quinn has been quiet through seven games with the Bears. In 2022, Quinn has appeared in seven games for the Bears and recorded eight total tackles and one sack.
New scenery with an undefeated team could very well wake him up.
