Linebacker Robert Quinn, who reportedly agreed to terms with the Bears March 18, has officially signed a five-year contract with the team.
Quinn, 29, has appeared in 125 NFL games with 106 starts over nine seasons with the Rams (2011-17), Dolphins (2018) and Cowboys (2019). He has recorded 290 tackles, 80.5 sacks, 90 tackles-for-loss, 25 forced fumbles, 20 pass breakups, two fumble recoveries and one touchdown.
Quinn was chosen by the Rams with the 14th pick in the first round of the 2011 NFL Draft out of North Carolina. The 6-4, 260-pounder emerged as a star in his second season in 2012, compiling 10.5 sacks and 11 tackles-for-loss.
Quinn continued to ascend in 2013, establishing career highs with 19.0 sacks, a league-leading 23 tackles-for-loss, 34 quarterback hits, seven forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries—one of which he returned 31 yards for a touchdown in a 42-21 win over the Bears at Soldier Field. His performance earned him first-team All-Pro honors and his first trip to the Pro Bowl.
Quinn returned to the Pro Bowl in 2014 when he registered 10.5 sacks, 13 tackles-for-loss and a league-leading five forced fumbles. In 48 games over three seasons with the Rams from 2012-14, Quinn amassed 40.0 sacks, 47 tackles-for-loss, 71 quarterback hits and 13 forced fumbles.
