Twitter reacts to Bears trading Robert Quinn to Eagles

The first place to go whenever a big sports trade gets announced is Twitter. The instant reactions are oftentimes priceless, and emotional. But sometimes, like in the case of today’s Robert Quinn trade, there’s a weird state of calm. Chicago Bears fans and Philadelphia Eagles fans seem to be in agreement that this was a win-win deal, both teams benefited.

Here are some instant reactions from writers and fans on both sides of the aisle. Check it out:

Considering Robert Quinn’s age, salary and production this year — as well as the stage the #Bears are in with their rebuild — getting a fourth-round pick from the Eagles for Quinn is fair compensation and a good deal for Ryan Poles…and the best thing for Quinn’s career. Win-win.

Trading Robert Quinn for a 4th round pick only makes me think what could Poles have gotten if he traded him before the draft or before the season started as he should have

I don’t think Robert Quinn has been very good this season, but I bet the change of scenery will have him playing great again. Last year he was dominant

Dealing Robert Quinn for a fourth is a nice exchange for the Bears.

Was going to be hard to get great compensation and that’s a solid return.

Man wtf all it took was a 4th for Robert Quinn????

Robert Quinn gave #Bears fans a year that they’ll remember for the rest of their lives in 2021, breaking the franchise’s single-season sack record.

However, Quinn’s play has proven to be inconsistent and Chicago just freed up cap space and got compensation.

Good on Ryan Poles.

Hey, great for him if he does. I love robert Quinn but y’all acting like Howie roseman fleeced the bears or something lol. Good trade for both teams. Period.

eagles trading for robert quinn is going to be as impactful the rams trading for von miller

Robert Quinn has 1 sack and 14 total hurries in 171 pass rush snaps this season. He is graded 124th among pass rushers, per PFF.

So #Eagles taking a chance he can come in and play better here than he was in Chicago this season

Robert Quinn will be missed, but a 4th round pick? I will definitely take that, King Poles.

All these Bears fans are saying a 4th wasn’t enough do not understand fair value and are overvaluing players on their team more highly than anything.
