The Dallas Cowboys shored up some of the uncertainty along their defensive line today, acquiring defensive end Robert Quinn from the Miami Dolphins in exchange for a 2020 sixth-round draft pick.
Quinn proved last year that he still has something left in the tank, as he started all 16 games for Miami, recording 38 tackles (25 solo), 6.5 sacks, and two forced fumbles.
The Cowboys are in need of someone who can pressure the quarterback, as defensive linemen Randy Gregory, David Irving, and DeMarcus Lawrence all have their own various question marks. Gregory is under suspension from the NFL, and Irving recently retired from the sport. Meanwhile, Lawrence, a genuine elite defensive star, could be a potential contract holdout.
The price for the proven veteran Quinn was a relatively cheap late round draft pick.
Quinn has played in 111 career games with 92 starts and has 69 sacks. He originally entered the NFL as a first-round pick (14th overall) by St. Louis in the 2011 NFL draft.
